The Challenge A.R. Wilson Quarry is one of the largest quarries in the western United States, and they realized that their legacy systems weren't providing the visibility that they required during their check-in/out, weigh-in/ out, asphalt loadout, and scale ticketing operations. They needed advanced scale ticketing software in conjunction with automation technologies to improve the speed, efficiency, and throughput of their site operations. The Solution In 2014 Granite Rock chose Apex to replace their legacy systems. While all of the Apex features were important, the flexibility of the Auto ID module was critical in that decision. The Auto ID functionality is used at all of their aggregate and asphalt locations, but the A.R. Wilson Quarry uses nearly every option available as well as a few new features added specifically to meet their needs at the site including: • Apex Ticketing: At the core of the system is the Apex ticketing software, providing an intuitive Windows™ user interface for data management and ticket printing at the site. • Auto ID: This module interfaces with the core ticketing application to allow the use of RFID readers and remote user input devices to automate the ticketing process. • 3rd Party Controls Interface: Apex systems can Granite Rock Co., now Graniterock, is family-owned and operated, with ready mix, aggregate, and construction operations ranging from south San Francisco to Monterey, California.
