SDBJ INSIDER: Lifesaving Work Is Company’s Mission

When we can, we like to shine the light on the diverse range of San Diego companies.

Sirius Signal LLC delivers a host of boating and marine safety devices, including electronic visual distress signal devices.

The San Diego-based company announced the upcoming launch of its dual color eVDSD model C-1002 device and the updated C-1003 model, both of which will be manufactured and distributed exclusively by Sirius Signal.

“New SOS eVDSD models C-1002 and C-1003 are currently undergoing testing and certification,” said Sirius Signal CEO, Anthony Covelli. “This new direction will allow us to more closely manage our retail and distribution opportunities as these next-generation products roll out.”

According to the company, “Sirius Signal will no longer license its technology, and will be the sole manager of all distribution and retailer partnerships.”

We often hear about the draw of our world-class research institutions to businesses. Here is a great example.

Indiana-based Cummins Inc. announced a partnership with University of California, San Diego’s battery validation lab to study ways to reuse and repurpose electric vehicle batteries.

According to Cummins, “”Under the agreement, UC San Diego will perform accelerated testing and real-world application testing, and will develop an outdoor second-life demonstration system comprised of Cummins battery modules. The collaboration will enable Cummins to acquire valuable data on the aging behaviors of its battery modules, test integration solutions for second-life battery systems, and validate stationary energy storage system performance under grid energy storage applications.”

Decarbonization policies have obviously increased battery use. When these batteries can no longer do their intended task, they may still have uses.

“Cummins is the nexus between the transportation and stationary energy storage sectors,” said Mike Ferry, director of energy storage and systems at the Center for Energy Research, UC San Diego. “Battery module design is a crucial aspect to making second-life more feasible and their experience will be invaluable as we continue to develop solutions…” n
