LASER GUIDED VEHICLE SYSTEMS
CHARLOTTE, NC, MAY 6, 1999, NDC AUTOMATION, INC. ( OTC BULLETIN BOARD
"AGVS", WWW.NDCA.COM) announced receipt of a purchase order from Harcon
Engineering of Roseville, MI, for a turnkey Lazerway(R) LGVS (Laser Guided
Vehicle System) to be installed at a new DaimlerChrysler facility in Detroit,
Michigan. The order is for vehicles, controls hardware and software, engineering
services and related equipment, and includes a $150,000 design order that the
Company received in January this year. The Company also received an order
recently from HK Systems of New Berlin, WI, a leading material handling system
integrator, for the expansion of an existing LGVS installed in 1997 by NDCA at
another DaimlerChrysler facility. Both orders combined totaled approximately $
2.3 million for the Company.
" These orders confirm NDCA's role as a supplier of LGVS technology
and solutions to this very prominent automotive manufacturer. We are extremely
pleased and proud to cooperate with companies such as Harcon Engineering and HK
Systems on these projects", says Ralph Dollander, President of NDC Automation,
Inc.

technology and related products to be incorporated into and used to control
Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS). The Company also provides turnkey AGVS
solutions to end-users and to system integrators. NDCA's controls hardware and
software are designed for optimal flexibility and accuracy and are well suited
