WOOD DALE, IL - Danaher Motion introduces Version 1.3 of its NDC8 control platform for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). Version 1.3 couples extensive programming options and advanced diagnostics with a high degree of user-friendliness and flexibility.

This optimizes control of all vehicles within the fleet.
