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

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 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.

History
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.

History
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/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.

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.

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.
