Dematic acquires Australian AGV manufacturer NDC Automation

Dematic has announced the acquisition of NDC Automation, a provider of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and software in Australia and New Zealand. NDC Automation will operate under the trade name NDC Automation for a transition period locally, and globally as Dematic.

Ulf Henriksson, Dematic president and CEO said the acquisition of NDC Automation would enhance the company’s ability to design, deliver and deploy global AGV solutions that move, store and/or retrieve goods.

“The NDC portfolio expands upon an existing portfolio that will dynamically optimise the movement of raw materials or finished goods as they move throughout a facility, including software that provides real-time information addressing material flow metrics,” said Henriksson.

Headquartered in Australia, NDC Automation has been providing AGV solutions for companies located in Australia and New Zealand for more than 40 years, pioneering advances in the areas of safety and vehicle navigation for its customers.
