Safeguarding Advanced Powertrain Technology and Boaters' Data from Third-Party Substitution
MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the "Company," "Vision Marine," "we," "us," "our") (Nasdaq:VMAR) is pleased to announce the filing of its latest patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a groundbreaking Battery Authentication Encryption Technology. This system is designed to securely integrate proprietary components within the E-Motion™ Electric Powertrain, prevent third-party substitution, and gather valuable boaters' data, reinforcing the strategic value of Vision Marine's advanced technology.
"The importance of system security cannot be overstated as we transition into a digital marine era," said Xavier Montagne, Chief Technology Officer at Vision Marine. "This patent application is the result of several years of research and development to make high-voltage systems compatible with the nautical field. Our unique skills in electronics and embedded software and our long experience in electric propulsion have made it happen."
The technology employs a sophisticated Battery Management Controller (BMC) to authenticate components within the powertrain. This helps ensure that only Vision Marine's proprietary components function in harmony with the system, eliminating risks associated with third-party substitutions that could compromise performance or safety. Beyond enhancing the system's security, this innovation enables the collection and analysis of boaters' data, a critical component in driving superior system performance and customer satisfaction.
"Our investment in developing a robust data-driven system is now yielding significant benefits," said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies. "By empowering Xavier Montagne and his team to focus on building this cutting-edge technology, we've created a platform that enhances system functionality while providing valuable insights through data analysis. This approach not only improves our products and services but also highlights the scalability and long-term value of our business for investors."
The data gathered from Vision Marine's proprietary system allows the Company to continually optimize product performance and deliver tailored solutions for boat Manufacturers and boaters. This data-rich foundation not only improves system reliability but also serves as a strategic asset that drives innovation, supports customer retention, and unlocks potential new revenue streams.
