Copsys Technologies is a Canadian startup, advancing Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) to market. Literally a paint with “feelings”, CIDS remotely monitors its own integrity in real time and, upon detecting coating barrier damage (or corrosion hotspots), automatically delivers low-power impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) protection to stop corrosion before it can start. The first true disruption in ICCP technology, CIDS delivers advanced corrosion protection with no underwater electric potential (UEP) signature and introduces “on-demand” active eco-friendly antifouling to maintain clean hulls without marine-toxic biocides or heavy metal additives.
