Kaynes Semicon Chooses Emerson’s Semiconductor Test Platform to Power Expansion!

Kaynes Semicon, the semiconductor arm of Kaynes Technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Emerson to integrate its NI Semiconductor Test System (STS) as the standard testing platform across its rapidly expanding facilities. The move underscores Kaynes Semicon’s ambition to establish itself as a leading global provider of Test-as-a-Service (TaaS) solutions, addressing the growing demand for reliable and scalable semiconductor testing.

The adoption of Emerson’s NI STS system will allow Kaynes Semicon to unify its test infrastructure for a wide variety of devices, including analog, mixed-signal, RF, power, and MEMS semiconductors. Standardizing operations on a flexible, modular platform is expected to streamline test workflows, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market for customers in both domestic and international markets.

Commenting on the partnership, Raghu Panicker, CEO of Kaynes Semicon, said, “We’re excited to partner with Emerson to elevate our semiconductor testing capabilities. As we grow and expand internationally, the NI STS platform offers the speed, modularity, and dependability we need to ensure consistent, high-quality test outcomes for our customers.”

The NI STS platform, designed on a compact PXI-based architecture, is widely recognized for its flexibility and high throughput. Its integration with software tools such as LabVIEW™ and TestStand™ enables faster deployment, reconfigurability, and better reuse of test assets, giving manufacturers an efficient way to adapt to evolving semiconductor technologies. Compared with traditional test systems, NI STS delivers up to 10 times faster performance, offering a clear advantage in industries where rapid innovation cycles demand accelerated validation and production readiness.

Shitendra Bhattacharya, Country Head – Test & Measurement at Emerson India, emphasized the significance of the collaboration, stating, “This collaboration highlights the increasing demand for scalable and high-performance semiconductor testing in India. The NI STS platform delivers compact, cost-effective, and high-throughput testing that aligns perfectly with Kaynes Semicon’s growth plans.”

Emerson is also providing robust local support to Kaynes Semicon, including dedicated field engineers, application specialists, and training programs to ensure smooth deployment and long-term operational success. This ecosystem of technical expertise is designed to help Kaynes maximize the capabilities of the NI STS platform, while also preparing its workforce to manage and adapt testing solutions for emerging semiconductor applications.

India’s semiconductor sector is experiencing unprecedented momentum, fueled by government incentives, rising domestic demand, and global shifts in supply chain diversification. In this context, testing has become a critical link in ensuring device performance, reliability, and compliance with international standards. By investing in scalable test infrastructure, Kaynes Semicon is not only strengthening its own competitiveness but also contributing to the resilience of India’s broader semiconductor ecosystem.

Kaynes Technology, the parent company of Kaynes Semicon, is one of India’s most established integrated electronics manufacturers with more than 30 years of experience in the Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) space. Its expertise spans conceptual design, process engineering, IoT-enabled manufacturing, and full lifecycle support. Serving industries ranging from automotive, EVs, and aerospace to medical devices and strategic electronics, Kaynes has positioned itself as a trusted partner in both domestic and international markets.

With Emerson’s advanced testing technologies now at the heart of its semiconductor operations, Kaynes Semicon is poised to accelerate its expansion and deliver high-quality, next-generation semiconductor solutions to a global customer base.
