Vision Marine Technologies has filed a patent application for its battery encryption technology.
The system is designed to securely integrate proprietary components within the company’s E-Motion Electric Powertrain, prevent third-party substitution, and gather boaters’ data.
The technology uses a sophisticated battery management controller (BMC) to authenticate components within the powertrain.
The technology ensures that only Vision Marine’s proprietary components function in harmony with the system.
The company says this will eliminate risks associated with third-party substitutions that could compromise performance or safety.
It will also enable collection and analysis of boaters’ data, which Vision Marine says will drive superior system performance and customer satisfaction.
This patent application is the result of several years of research and development to make high-voltage systems compatible with the nautical field.
