[Shenzhen, August 31, 2026] Today, Shenzhen Zhengxiang Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shokz Technology (Shokz), a global leader in open-ear headphones, officially announced a strategic partnership with Fangtian Software, a benchmark enterprise in Asia-Pacific mold ERP solutions, to fully deploy Fangtian MOLDERP cloud-based system. This move marks a critical step for Zhengxiang Precision in digital upgrading its core component R&D and precision mold manufacturing processes, aiming to shorten new product launch cycles and improve mass production yield rates by integrating the full lifecycle data chain of molds.

As Shokz Group's core entity dedicated to high-end silicone molding and precision manufacturing, Zhengxiang Precision is committed to overcoming core process challenges such as ultra-zero-degree silicone molding. Its technological achievements have been widely applied to flagship products like Shokz OpenFit. As open-ear headphones continue to demand higher levels of wearing comfort and acoustic cavity manufacturing precision, mold development efficiency directly determines the final product experience and delivery speed. The MOLDERP system introduced this time will build a fully digital closed-loop workflow for Zhengxiang Precision, covering mold quoting, intelligent design, automatic scheduling (APS), and mold trial and acceptance.

This partnership represents a perfect alignment of strengths between two industry leaders. As a national-level specialized and innovative "Little Giant" enterprise and a manufacturing single champion, Shokz Technology holds an absolutely dominant position in the global bone conduction and open-ear headphone market, with over 3,500 accumulated acoustic patent applications and ranking first in global sports headphone sales for two consecutive years. Zhengxiang Precision is the dedicated entity established by Shokz Technology to strengthen core component manufacturing capabilities, carrying the implementation of the "technological innovation + user-centric thinking" dual-helix strategy on the manufacturing end.
Meanwhile, Fangtian Software, as a national-level specialized and innovative "Little Giant" enterprise and a leading brand in Asia-Pacific mold ERP solutions, has accumulated 30 years of industry expertise since its establishment in 1996, successfully serving over ten thousand mold and machining enterprises worldwide. Fangtian possesses deep technical barriers in discrete non-standard production control, AI-driven intelligent scheduling (APS), and fine-grained workshop flow management, which are precisely the core engines Zhengxiang Precision urgently needs to break through R&D and manufacturing bottlenecks and shorten new product launch cycles.
Fangtian Software stated that Zhengxiang Precision, as Shokz Technology's core entity in precision manufacturing, has highly representative refined manufacturing needs within the industry. The MOLDERP system will leverage highly intelligent APS automatic scheduling and machine networking technology to help Zhengxiang Precision achieve automated scheduling and real-time progress tracking for tens of thousands of precision mold components, effectively reducing mold development costs and ensuring delivery cycles.
A supply chain executive at Zhengxiang Precision noted: "In the open-ear headphone track, 'technological conviction' is reflected not only in acoustic innovation but also in the continuous evolution of the manufacturing system. Through the deep integration of the MOLDERP system with our existing PLM platform, we will achieve transparent flow of 'design changes - mold modification instructions - mold trial reports,' significantly reducing cross-departmental communication losses and providing a solid digital foundation for the new product push in the second half of the year."

It is reported that Fangtian Software will release the new-generation MOLDERP 2027 version in November this year, deeply integrating AI agents with refined cost control capabilities. Zhengxiang Precision's signing this time will become one of the first benchmark application cases of this AI strategy in the consumer electronics precision manufacturing sector. In the future, both parties will conduct in-depth exploration in areas such as intelligent mold design, workshop IoT, and refined R&D expense accounting, jointly providing replicable practical models for the global intelligent manufacturing transformation of China's high-end audio equipment.
