The Challenge Greer Industries sought a technology partner capable of providing a complete software and hardware package without the need to include a third party. Operating multiple aggregate plants with about 300 trucks in the mix, they looked to leverage a system that could boost their daily load count while providing consistent, reliable service. With an operation of this scale, it was important for Greer to land a process that schedules dispatch assignments ahead of time to prevent truck congestion at their plants. The Solution To get the most value for their automation needs, Greer implemented Command Alkon's Apex software and supplemented modules tailored to their daily operations. Greer leverages Apex on two operational fronts: dispatch and scale ticketing. The dispatch end of Apex allows Greer to seamlessly allocate jobs to trucks and accurately determine if enough trucks are available. When it comes to weighing vehicles, Apex's Scale Watcher module quickly captures load data collected at Greer scale houses. Scale Watcher provides irrefutable proof of weighing by snapping photos from the front and side of every vehicle as they're weighed and places corresponding ticket data over those images. Scale Watcher can instantly share these photos to customer email addresses and reporting dashboards.
