The Asset Intelligence division of GE Equipment Services and TMW Systems, the premier developer and integrator of enterprise management software for the transportation industry, have agreed to integrate GE’s VeriWiseTM Asset Intelligence system - the virtual "brain" developed by GE for the trailer portion of an 18-wheeler big rig - with the dispatch module of TMW Systems trucking software.

Availability is expected by the end of 2005, following successful completion of two beta tests with an existing TMW Systems customer, the product distribution unit of GE Consumer & Industrial, which handles logistics and delivery of GE’s appliance and lighting products, and a customer in the carpet business.
