INFRASTRUCTURE
Design Capabilities
BESCO is a technology driven company.
The company has adopted the technique of virtual prototyping for evolving optimum designs through computer simulations.
The product is designed on the computer with adequate strength, ‘manufactured’ on the computer and put through a battery of acceptance tests on the Computer itself to withstand the loads that would arise in normal service.
The enormous costs and time overruns involved in physical prototype manufacture, laboratory and field trials are minimized by this technique of Virtual Prototyping.
Methodology governing the development and evaluation of new designs basically makes use of advanced software.
