"Separate Production Lines Prevent Conflicts, Allowing Both R&D And Large-Scale Manufacturing To Run Without Delays"

The Electronics Manufacturing Services industry is key to transforming ideas into reality—right from client discussions to final delivery.

Behind this lies a web of intricate functions that demand seamless coordination, technical precision, and an unwavering commitment to quality. In conversation with EFY’s Nitisha Dubey and Nidhi Agarwal, Sudharsan Ramajeyam of Thinksemi Infotech outlines how his team steers R&D, quality control, and multi-sector demands while tackling the challenges of scale, customisation, and streamlined production.

What are the main steps involved from talking to a client to delivering the finished product?

Our R&D team categorises queries into fresh ideas or reverse engineering needs. For reverse engineering, we analyse samples to identify components and take necessary actions. For fresh ideas, our design team works with the component team to check market availability and potential EOL risks. Early discussions among R&D, CFT, and component teams help create a BoM with multiple AVL options to reduce production dependencies. Once designs and prototypes are approved, we coordinate with manufacturers on component availability, cycle times, and PCB requirements. PCB design aligns with EMS capabilities and incorporates CFT team inputs. Gerber file creation and alignment are set up for our production process. The box-building and wiring harness teams ensure that connector specifications meet the required standards. Each team is involved at every stage to complete the product smoothly with minimal issues.

How does the R&D team support product development?

Currently, our R&D team supports power electronics and BLDC-based solutions. When customers need design and development services, even from other industries, we connect them with the right experts to create tailored solutions. We also handle BoM design and optimisation to help reduce product costs. This approach enables customers to access comprehensive solutions in one place.
