About

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 1990’s. 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.

History

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.

HISTORY OF INNOVATING COST-EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR FIELD PROBLEMS

History

By the mid-1980’s, 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 MEI’s VesselWatch Marine Telemetry System for general use within its jurisdiction by 2004. In the western U.S., Beaumont’s 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/irrigation, water management, waste water and water reclamation, and cathodic protection. He continues to deliver innovative solutions that save time and money to these industries.

EVOLVING FROM HYDROELECTRIC TO MARITIME, AGRICULTURE AND WATER CONTROL

JACK 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.
