CRMR Technology Inc. Shines in Marine Industry with Two Prestigious Awards
New York, Oct 20, 2026 - CRMR Technology Inc., powered by Viam, has made waves in the marine technology sector by clinching two of the industry's most coveted awards. The company received the
2026 NMEA Best New Product Award and the
2026 IBEX Innovation Award in Safety Equipment. This recognition stems from their groundbreaking contributions to the connected-vessel technology landscape, which has already scaled its innovative solutions across more than 1,000 boats.
At the heart of these advancements is the
BRIZO system, part of the Viam-powered technology behind Canyon Runner's CR MAP. This system integrates vessel monitoring, mapping, alerts, and fleet analysis, creating a singular connected platform that significantly enhances situational awareness for mariners and vessel operators. The technology transforms how information is processed and utilized on the water, offering a comprehensive view of the marine environment.
During the
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) Conference and Expo held in Dallas, CRMR Tech's
Inlet Map Fleet Analyzer was honored as the
Best New Product of the Year. This innovative tool meticulously compiles live tracking data from a diverse fleet, generating a dynamic and constantly updated representation of safe navigation through ever-changing marine inlets. Complementing this, the
Fleet Analyzer aggregates real-time telemetry, crowdsourced catch information, and environmental metrics to give fishers accurate insights into current fishing conditions, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
Furthermore, at the
International BoatBuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Tampa, CRMR Tech's
Connected Vessel Intelligence was recognized as one of the twelve
Innovation Award winners. This sophisticated system synthesizes live vessel data with predictive analytics, weather forecasts, navigational insights, and collective fleet data. The integration empowers both leisure and professional captains to make better-informed and safer decisions while out on the water.
The foundation of these revolutionary products is the
CR Box, which connects seamlessly to a boat’s
NMEA 2000 network and
Starlink, running Viam's open-source software directly at the edge. By streaming vessel data to the cloud, CRMR Tech combines this information with weather data, satellite inputs, and AIS sources, thus creating a robust ecosystem for navigating the complexities of marine operations.
Tomer Shemesh, CTO of CRMR Tech, commented on the significance of these awards, stating, "These awards are a tremendous validation of the role connected technology can play in the future of boating. Over the past 18 months, we've scaled to over 1,000 vessels, turning real-time data from across our fleet into actionable insights for every captain we serve."
The success of CRMR Tech illustrates how
Viam’s advanced infrastructure is revolutionizing the marine technology realm, enabling vessels to be far more connected than ever before. Viam Founder and CEO Eliot Horowitz praised the growth of CRMR Tech, emphasizing, "Their team can focus on providing innovative products and experiences while Viam handles the complex technology infrastructure that powers them."
As Viam continues to expand its
Viam Marine platform, it assists businesses in building connected and intelligent maritime products. Through partnerships with entities like CRMR Tech,
GOST,
Kongsberg, and
Digital Yacht, Viam provides essential infrastructure to integrate with NMEA 2000 networks and onboard sensors, establishing secure remote fleet management capabilities.
Looking ahead, Viam will showcase its offerings at various marine shows and conferences throughout the fall, including
FLIBS,
WorkBoat, and
METSTRADE. This ongoing commitment to innovation not only enhances vessel connectivity but also exemplifies a significant shift towards smarter, data-driven decision-making in the maritime world.
