Dear Ziro Community,

We would like to give you the latest production update from China. We have completed about 90% of the printing the  parts. We also have completed 100% of the PCB manufacturing, glove textile manufacturing and charging trays, packaging etc. Please some some pics below. We have started assembly of the gloves, uploading the software and testing. Once we complete printing all the plastic parts, we will start assembling and testing the motor modules and the full kits which completes production. Once we compete production, the units will be shipped to US from China. We expect to receive the units end of October. We will start shipping soon after that. We will keep you posted. We are almost done - thanks for your patience.

 

 

Best regards,

Raja

Dear Ziro Community,

As promised we would like to give you a quick production update from China and share some pics. We are happy to let you know that mold making is completed and the first shots are being done. Here are some images of the molds.

 

 

We are also in the process of creating PCBA test samples for EP1 testing which will start next week on August 6.

There is currently a global shortage for some electronics components which is causing slightly longer lead times for some of our electronics component procurement. This has extended our product schedule by a month. We are currently scheduled for FEP (Final Engineering Prototype testing) starting August 27. We will keep you posted. Thanks for your patience. We are getting to the finish line.

Regards,

Raja

Dear Ziro Community,

Hello from China. Ziro production is in full swing. We have finished the tooling model and currently making the molds. As promised, please find some pics of production activities and mold making.

Production Ziro is really amazing and we are sure you will love playing with it. Once we complete the molds we will make two iterations of Engineering prototypes (EP1 & EP2). Then will do Final Engineering Prototype before we start printing the product that will be shipped to you. We will keep you updated with more images and posts.

Best regards,

Dear Ziro Community,

We just returned from  China working closely with our contract manufacturing partner. We are really excited to let you know that we are in the final stretch of the production and we are able to provide a clear timeline and specific shipping date. Our tooling (mold making) will start next week and we are supposed to receive the product from our CM end of July. We will ship to our customers in August. As we go through this process we will share with you the pictures of everything such as our molds, PCBs, EP, FEP and finished products etc. This has taken longer that we expected but we are finally ready to bring this amazing product to you. Thanks for your patience.

We are also excited to share with you that Ziro won two prestigious awards last week. Ziro won the prestigious Design Intelligence Award in Hangzhou, China. Ziro was selected the winner out of 7800 entries. 

Ziro was also named TiE50 2018 winner. This is TiE's list 50 most innovative technologies of 2018 selected out of 7400 entries. We received this award at TieCon Inflect 2018 conference in Santa Clara, CA.

All this would not be possible without your love and support. Thank you. We are excited to finally bring this award winning product to you very soon. We will post multiple frequent updates over the next couple of months to keep you updated.

Best regards,

Raja

Dear Ziro Community,

We would like to give you a quick update on the production. Everything is going well and we expect to ship Ziro to you in June. We are working with a top contract manufacturer who is helping us to bring out a quality product to you. 

We showcased Ziro at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. Here are some pics.

We will continue to keep you posted as we are nearing our successful production of Ziro. We can't wait to bring it to you.
