APEX Automated Dispensing Systems
http://apx.sc/busfleet
Today, it’s more important than ever to accurately and securely manage, track and control repair parts, supplies and tools at the point-of-work. Many repair shops and fleet service centers have found an easy solution: Partnering with their suppliers to deploy Apex Automated Dispensing Systems. Now, employees always have the parts and equipment they need, where and when they need them, the company stated, so they can turn around repair jobs faster, eliminate stock-outs, reduce costs and increase productivity. Apex solutions can also automate check-out and check-in of critical tools and equipment.

BESI’s Guardian Thread features Microban antimicrobial protection to create a zone on school-bus seat covers that helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Company officials said the Guardian Thread creates a defense system in sewn products at the seam, where the most vulnerability to microbes is located. Guardian Thread also resists stains, fights odor-causing bacteria, helps to prevent product deterioration and attacks mold and mildew.

It can capture video over the entire interior length of a bus’ passenger compart- ment as well as from the driver’s perspective toward the front of the vehicle. The external cameras are designed to mount on the side of the vehicle and capture video alongside and toward the rear. The two-inch, weatherproof external cameras can be used as a stop-arm monitor.
