Press Release Body = HOLLAND, MICHIGAN - Bridgestone\'s state-of-the-art tire
manufacturing facility located in Tennessee has employed Egemin to replace its 15
year old vehicle controls with the latest, most advanced AGV controls technology
available on the market today. The transition between old and new controls will be
done without interruption to current manufacturing practices and needs. To do this,
Egemin will upgrade a few AGVs at a time and insert them back into the system
allowing the newly upgraded AGVs to co-mingle with the ones yet needing upgrades.
This process will continue until all AGVs have received new controls packages.

In 2006, Bridgestone upgraded their external AGV control system, which utilizes
Egemin's E\'tricc® (AGV Traffic Intelligent Control Center) running on a robust
Windows XP platform. This upgrade allows Bridgestone increased functionality and
flexibility than was possible with the previous control system.

Bridgestone's original AGV system, installed by Egemin in 1992, has been running
24/7 ever since.

Egemin Automation Inc. has been manufacturing AGVs since 1976. Egemin is a worldwide
organization with operations in 16 countries. Egemin's center for AGV excellence is
located in Holland, Michigan, where it employs all disciplines needed in order to
succeed as an AGV industry leader. All AGV technology including design, software,
and support is developed and owned by Egemin. Over 4000 AGVs have been manufactured
and installed with many being used by Fortune 500 companies.
