Transbotics Develops sysMAX, a Software Program Created to Improve Automatic Guided Vehicle System Performance

    CHARLOTTE, N.C.--Aug. 5, 2002--Transbotics Corporation, (OTCBB: TNSB) (www.transbotics.com), formerly NDC Automation, Inc., announced that they have just released sysMAX, a software program created to improve Automatic Guided Vehicle System Performance.
    In an effort to improve overall performance of their Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS), Transbotics has developed sysMAX, a comprehensive AGVS analysis tool. This program, which was developed by Transbotics new Detroit, MI office, allows Transbotics' staff to better analyze the system and share that data with customers. The program has a series of reports that can detail, per vehicle, scheduled maintenances, system errors such as false stops and any non-system errors. This software program was developed specifically for Daimler Chysler who is currently using a twelve-vehicle system to transport engines in their Mack II Engine Plant. "sysMAX is proving to be a great tool for tracking the history of a vehicle and determining scheduled maintenances," said Claude Imbleau, president of Transbotics, Corporation. "The information this program provides allows us to be more proactive on behalf of our clients."
    "This is just another example of how Transbotics has continued to exceed our expectations when it comes to our AGVS," said Dean Didion, Materials Manager, Daimler Chrysler. "We have been working with Transbotics for over three years now and have been more than pleased with their competence and experience related to Automatic Guided Vehicles."
