Engineering Smarter Electronics for a New India
The Make in India movement has strengthened the nation’s ambition to create technology that is engineered locally and trusted globally. Riding this momentum, Radnox Technovation is emerging as a leader in building safety and automation, delivering solutions designed for reliability, longevity, and real-world performance.
The company addresses the growing problem of disposable electronics by embracing the Right to Repair philosophy — with modular and serviceable designs, accessible spare parts, and significantly lower life-cycle costs for facilities worldwide. Its expanding global footprint, backed by strong on-ground support, is enabling integrators and facility teams to create smart, resilient, and energy-efficient spaces.
TradeFlock spoke with Boney Davis, Co-Founder and Director at Radnox Technovation Private Limited, to learn more about the company’s plans, innovations, and vision for the future.
What idea sparked Radnox’s vision, and how is it reshaping electronics manufacturing in India?
Radnox began with a simple yet powerful vision: creating electronics that put people first while delivering outstanding performance. In the BMS and automation space, many installations fail not because the technology is weak, but because systems are hard to maintain, upgrade, or repair. That led to the question that shaped everything: “What if reliability, repairability, and modularity were designed from day one?” It became the compass for building a future-ready, sustainable, and practical ecosystem of automation and control products. The mission is to help India move away from a disposable mindset in electronics manufacturing. Instead of systems that are inexpensive but short-lived, the aim is to build hardware that lasts longer, limits e-waste, and supports the Right to Repair. Every product, from power and control modules to sensors, is built with modular boards and accessible spare parts, so serviceability becomes a natural part of the design.
"The long-term goal is to shift India’s thinking from assembly-line dependency to engineered independence and to prove that Made in India can also mean Made to Last."
What early operational hurdle did Radnox face, and how did you guide the team through it?
In a hardware-focused company, every choice from PCB design to manufacturing equipment influences cost, delivery, reliability, and the customer experience. The ambition to move fast needed to align with the truth that speed without process leads to chaos. In the early days, prototype batches took longer than expected because several vendors could not meet the precision and quality the team envisioned. This challenge became a turning point, leading to the creation of the Radnox Quality Matrix, a benchmark that ensured every product met the company’s standards. A transparent feedback loop across design, procurement, and assembly followed, in which each department reviewed the others as co-creators rather than critics. This shift strengthened the workflow and anchored an important lesson: discipline and collaboration are the invisible ingredients behind innovation.
In Pune’s competitive environment, what challenge tested Radnox most, and what experience helped you push forward?
Pune’s tech and manufacturing environment is energetic and demanding, yet the toughest challenge wasn’t competition. It was visibility. As a young company, even with strong engineering, effort is required to be seen and trusted. The market is crowded with brands that talk innovation, so cutting through that noise required authenticity. The biggest test was encouraging clients to shift from their “tried and tested imports” to a newer Indian-engineered solution. The founders’ combined experience of nearly four decades in BMS helped because credibility doesn’t come from what is said, but from performance. The approach was to demonstrate rather than advertise. Pilots, transparent data, and real-world performance slowly changed perceptions. When clients saw modules simplify installations or reduce downtime, the narrative moved naturally. The experience reinforced something the team believed deeply: truth travels through results, not brochures.
What new technologies have you added to your production line, and why?
Radnox believes true innovation happens when technology makes craftsmanship smarter, not redundant. The production line was built to reflect that idea, staying precise, intelligent, and proudly engineered in India. One of the most significant upgrades is automatic SMD soldering and placement. It has transformed how control and sensor modules are built. Manual assembly, even with skilled hands, can lead to fatigue and minor misalignments. The automated SMD system offers sub-millimetre precision, supported by AI-assisted optical vision that checks polarity, scans every component, and verifies every solder joint. Watching the process feels almost artistic as component reels feed into the machine, robotic arms move with rhythm, and boards come out clean and ready for testing. This system frees engineers from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on refinement and design. Automated soldering has cut the error margin by more than 80%, reduced production time, and eliminated rework caused by manual inconsistencies. It also supports the company’s sustainability philosophy by reducing waste and rejections. AI-assisted testing and connected production data complete the workflow, reflecting the belief that Indian electronics can be world-class in both quality and consciousness.
What sustainability practice are you most proud of, and how does it fit your vision?
The initiative the team is most proud of is the Design for Longevity framework. It began with a conversation about waste, not just packaging or energy but electronic waste itself. Every control hardware or sensor that reaches scrap represents a sustainability failure. That is why a rule was set that every new product must support a minimum ten-year serviceable design life. To make this possible, Radnox uses modular PCB layers, socket-based components, updatable firmware, and enclosures built for reusability so parts can be replaced without discarding the entire unit. This philosophy goes beyond compliance and reflects a deeper conscience. Sustainability is built into the way Radnox designs, sources, and thinks. As the company grows, the aim is to champion responsible innovation and show that technology and sustainability can progress together. The smartest product is the one that stays useful the longest.
