2From the Ditch to the Internet
Watch Technologies designs, manufactures and
installs innovative water control equipment for
Ag/Irrigation, Water/Waste Water, and Industrial
applications around the globe. WT manufactured
products include
SLUICE GATES SLIDE GATES TAINTER GATES GATE
ACTUATORS DEBRIS/TRASH TRAPS and CONTROL SYSTEMS.
SLUICE/TAINTER GATES
WT is the only U.S. company that makes a complete
line of water control products designed to
easily integrate with each other to operate as
systems. Because WT manufactures all the water
control products required of a system they are
shipped ready to deploy. No System Integration
needed. GATE ACTUATORS
3About
A leading sluice gate manufacturer, Watch
Technologies is the only U.S. company that
designs and manufactures vertically integrated
water management equipment. Jack Goldwasser and
his team formed Watch Technologies (formerly
Watch Enterprises) in 2005 after 30 years of
successful telemetry system installation and
operations work in-house and as a
contractor/consultant. Jack established Watch
Technologies (WT) as a separate enterprise from
Mountain Energy, Inc., (the firm Jack established
in 1978 to develop and own hydroelectric
generation facilities), to more accurately
reflect his primary business focus data
collection equipment, monitoring, and SCADA
control systems for the water conservation,
water management and waste water control,
agricultural, marine, and hydroelectric
industries -- the work Mountain Energy (MEI)
primarily did since the early 1990s. Watch
Technologies helps organizations increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of their operations
through modernizing and automation, saving time
and money, as well as achieving water
conservation.
4History
HISTORY OF INNOVATING COST-EFFECTIVE
TECHNOLOGIES FOR FIELD PROBLEMS
Looking for solutions to field problems is the
engine that drove MEI, Watch Enterprises, and now
Watch Technologies through the last three
decades. Stream-flow studies required to evaluate
the potential of a site to generate sufficient
power to warrant development required Jack and
his team to install equipment to accurately
measure and record surface water in very
difficult situations. In many cases, designing
systems to do this meant looking for or creating
cost-effective technologies to do the job for
gathering accurate data and getting it back to
where decision makers could evaluate it. These
projects caused Jack to innovate from the
beginning. Solving the three big problems in
SCADA keeping data collection cost-effective,
getting accurate data, and getting the data
home, is the cumulative history of Watch
Technologies, particularly since 2004. It has led
to a series of innovations over a short amount
of time, and there will be more to come. Jack
has patented numerous data logging equipment
(1997-2000) and electronic contact manufacturing
assignments (2000-present) of our own.
5History
EVOLVING FROM HYDROELECTRIC TO MARITIME,
AGRICULTURE AND WATER CONTROL
By the mid-1980s, Jack was being awarded
contracts with federal, state, and commercial
entities to do what MEI had done in the
hydroelectric market -- data collection and
telemetry systems -- but on a much larger scale,
for example, drainage-wide ALERT Flood Warning
systems, integrated weather station systems, and
process and environmental monitoring at fish
hatcheries. In 1995, Jack won a contract with
the US Navy Inactive Fleet to supply four of its
fleets (160 vessels and four Base Stations in
Bremerton, Pearl Harbor, Norfolk, and
Philadelphia) with radio-based monitoring and
alarm systems. The project was a major success
and remains in operation today. It also propelled
MEI into marine telemetry applications
(1995-present) culminating in the Beaumont
Reserve Fleet and USDOT MARAD Central Region
adopting MEIs VesselWatch Marine Telemetry
System for general use within its jurisdiction
by 2004. In the western U.S., Beaumonts sister
fleet, the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet (SBRF) in
Benicia, California, started a four year program
to install a similar system in 2008. Jack has
found that solutions that work in the
hydroelectric and maritime industries can be
applied with great success in agriculture/irrigat
ion, water management, waste water and water
reclamation, and cathodic protection. He
continues to deliver innovative solutions that
save time and money to these industries.
6JACK GOLDWASSER, FOUNDER AND CEO
- Jack Goldwasser has 30 years experience in data
collection, remote monitoring, and SCADA systems
in several industries, helping organizations and
government agencies increase the efficiency of
their operations. - Jack became skilled at field data collection and
remote monitoring after founding Mountain Energy
Inc. (MEI) in 1978 to develop and own
hydroelectric generation facilities. After
designing and building a 50-kilowatt
interconnect hydroelectric facility in Cave
Junction, OR, Jack acted as a consultant on
numerous hydroelectric projects in the Western
Hemisphere, and gained expertise in the design,
installation, and maintenance of very remote data
collection systems needed for hydroelectric
reconnaissance studies, licensing, and financing.
By the mid 1980's Jack was awarded large-scale
data collection and telemetry contracts with
federal, state and commercial businesses for
projects including drainage-wide ALERT Flood
Warning systems for flood control, integrated
weather station systems, and process and
environmental remote monitoring at fish
hatcheries.
