COMPLEX AUTOMATION OF PETROL AND GAS STATIONS
In the case of projects of automation of retail trade with liquid and gaseous fuels there are a number of specific requirements that must be met. First of all - compliance with regulatory and legal requirements when handling fuel. Enterprises of the Group of companies «ND» offer solutions adapted to the current Technical Requirements to specialized cash registrar equipment for the gas station and all the existing Laws of Ukraine.
