India – Emerson today announced a strategic partnership with Kaynes Semicon, under which Kaynes will adopt Emerson’s NI Semiconductor Test System (STS) as its preferred platform across expanding semiconductor test facilities.
The collaboration aims to standardize test infrastructure for Kaynes’ analogue, mixed-signal, RF, power, and MEMS devices, accelerating production cycles, enhancing test flexibility, and reducing time-to-market. The move underscores Kaynes Semicon’s ambition to establish itself as a trusted Test-as-a-Service partner for the global semiconductor industry.
Raghu Panicker, CEO, Kaynes Semicon, said:
“We are pleased to partner with Emerson to advance our semiconductor testing capabilities. As we scale operations and expand our global footprint, Emerson’s NI STS platform will provide the modularity, speed, and reliability required to deliver consistent, high-quality test outcomes for our customers.”
The NI STS, built on a PXI-based architecture, combines a compact form factor with reconfigurable instrumentation, supported by LabVIEW and TestStand software integration. Its design enables instrument reuse, multi-site execution, and workflow efficiency—helping manufacturers like Kaynes reduce equipment redundancy and respond quickly to evolving test needs.
Shitendra Bhattacharya, Country Head, Emerson Test & Measurement India, added:
“Our collaboration with Kaynes reflects the rising demand for scalable and efficient semiconductor testing in India. The NI STS platform is uniquely positioned to support Kaynes’ growth ambitions, delivering high-throughput, cost-effective, and adaptable testing solutions aligned with global market requirements.”
Emerson’s strong presence in India—with field engineers, application support, and training resources—will further enable seamless implementation and long-term success for Kaynes’ test operations.
As India advances its semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, Emerson’s NI STS platform is poised to play a pivotal role in supporting OSATs and fabs with high-speed, mixed-signal testing. Offering up to 10x faster test speeds, the solution not only reduces capital costs but also ensures scalable, efficient production—fueling the country’s growing semiconductor ecosystem.
