The parts of NDC Solutions
NDC8 is a generic, complete and scalable system that suits all types of automated guided vehicles (AGV) from small and simple to large and complex. The system consists of three parts: navigation, hardware and software.
Navigation
NDC8 works with all established navigation technologies. There is support for a combination of technologies, so-called multi-navigation, which is good if you want to serve a storage space using one type of navigation and a production area using another.

Natural Navigation
NDC8 with natural navigation lets AGVs use objects in the existing environment for navigation, removing the need to install reflectors and markers. This cuts down on installation time, reducing costs and minimizing the effect on operations. Natural navigation also simplifies the expansion of systems.
Hardware
NDC8 hardware consists of powerful and reliable components in a number of areas. All components are designed for tough environments where vibrations, dust, moisture and temperature variations are all part of daily life.
