Vision Marine Technologies Seeks Patent for Innovative Marine Control System

Vision Marine Technologies Inc., based in Montreal, has filed a new patent application in the U.S. for its Distributed Control System Architecture in electric marine vessels. This system aims to simplify integration, enhance scalability, and boost efficiency in electric marine powertrains.

The architecture features a distributed control system using a Control Area Network (CAN) bus, which facilitates communication between the Vessel Control Unit and vital powertrain components. This innovation reduces wiring complexity and optimizes power distribution, leading to improved system responsiveness.

By decentralizing control, the new architecture enables reduced vessel weight and simplified maintenance, benefiting diverse electric marine applications. This development is part of Vision Marine's efforts to promote sustainable electric propulsion in the marine industry.
