The Company and its Industrial Automation

The company has a special department of Industrial Automation. It has manufactured a number of industrial automatisms in many enterprises. This period, with the occasion of the installation of tax registers in petrol service stations by the goverment, the company has manufactured a pioneering system of connecting an petrol pump with a tax register, the "IFESTOS" device.
This product can be connected with all the pump types, either electronic or mechanical and with all types of approved tax registers. With this system, the number of petrol pumps that can be connected in one tax register is unlimited.

Automatic System that Prints Receipts of an Petrol Service Station

The device that we manufactured in combination with the tax register consists of a integrated system of automatic receipt printing with the minimal intervention of human factor. It connects two or more petrol pumps with the tax register that prints receipts. The device is linked with the petrol pump with a special cable, records the consumption and informs the tax register for the type of petrol, the quantity, the price of unit and the total value.

A different version of the system is materialised with the replacement of the tax register with a computer where with suitable software it will record, calculate and print out receipts in a normal printer. In the case of printing receipts in the same tax register for more than two petrol pumps an interconnection of the devices is applied between them in a network in order to materialise the above requirement. (Network Version). This is possible with the use of the device as master that will check the flow of data to the tax register or the computer from the other devices (slave) that is connected with the petrol pumps. As stated again, the system connects all the types of electronic pumps with all the approved tax registers. For the mechanic petrol pumps, an addition of a special switch has been developed.
