Smart Alec Software
Smart Alec is an extensive software system which can acquire real-time data from manufacturing,
warehousing, or other data collection software systems, as well as manual input. Smart Alec prioritizes, schedules,
and delivers this information to Alpha signs, E-mail systems, and alphanumeric pagers. The program includes a
Message Manager, Command Manager, Variable Rule Manager, and other system managers, as well as various
start-up and advanced utilities.
Smart Alec works with all types of networks and runs in TCP/IP network environments on PCs with either a

and Smart Alec can send messages to any individual sign or groups of signs.
