| New 'Scale Watcher' Application Introduced (December 2006) JWS now offers an integrated solution for providing photo verification of the weighing process. When Apex sends a print signal to the printer, it activates the camera to take a still digital photo of the vehicle on the scale that can be saved for future retrieval. Command and JWS Join Forces (September 2006) JWS announces it's decision to become the Bulk Materials division of Command Alkon. JWS will maintain it's existing office and staff in Shawnee Mission, but will now be able to combine resources with the largest supplier of ready mix batching software and controls in the industry. Press Release Apex 3 in Early Rollout (July 2005) JWS is now releasing its version 3.2 product to new and existing customers. New features in this release include improved handling of fuel surcharges, a G\L interface to QuickBooks, Ready Mix Dispatch, Wireless Loader and Remote Sales as well as support for Crystal Reports 10. Contact our sales department for more information. New Wireless Loader Module (March 2005) JWS unveiled its new Wireless Loader application at the Conexpo/CON-AGG Show in Las Vegas in March. This new program implements a loader notification system that displays the vehicles and rail cars in plant to be loaded on a vehicle-mounted touch screen PC in the loader. The touch screen PC receives information from the weighmaster PC via a wireless network connection. Each time a vehicle checks into the plant, that vehicle will be added to the list of in-plant vehicles. The loader operator can then interact with the display to select viewing options and to indicate when a vehicle is loaded. This new technology will help improve communication with the loader and increase efficiencies at the loading site. Contact JWS for more details. Concrete Batch Interface in Beta (October 2004) JWS is now field testing its new Concrete Batch Interface product. This module will allow our Apex ticketing system to directly interface with most concrete batching systems based on accepted industry standards.
