Automation system on the basis of NaftaPOS software
In case there is a need in providing local control over fuel dispensers and controlling level of fuel in tanks at petrol stations - the most basic solution is the following, which makes the system capable to provide sales of fuel at petrol station (see a scheme below).

COMPONENTS:
- NaftaPOS front-office software for petrol stations intended for control over technological processes, automated measurement and commercial account at petrol stations and storage depots.
In this scheme NaftaPOS software provides all functions of a full-functional POS system for petrol stations with remote control over fuel dispensers, ATG systems, retail sales of products, printing of receipts and formation of reports. NaftaPOS software is to be installed on a standard personal computer with Windows operation system. Standard PC with minimal requirements 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD, thus any standard PC may be used for this purpose. - PTS controller over fuel dispensers (pumps) and ATG systems for petrol stations intended to provide simultaneous control over various types of electronic fuel delivery dispensers of various manufactures (Wayne Dresser, Gilbarco, Tokheim, Nuovo Pignone, Tatsuno, Tatsuno Benc, Petrotec, Adast, MM Petro, Develco, Safe, Wayne Meksan, Mepsan, 2A, Kraus, Petrolmeccanica, Galileo, Falcon, Batchen, Email, Slavutich, Shelf, UNICON, UNIGAZ and others) and provide reading of measurement data from various types of automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems of various manufactures (Gilbarco Veeder Root, OPW, Hectronic, Struna, PetroVend, Start Italiana and others).
PTS controller over fuel dispensers (pumps) and ATG systems for petrol stations is to be directly connected to a COM-port of a PC with NaftaPOS software. The PTS controller has output interface RS-485, so it can directly control fuel dispensers that have this input interface (like Wayne Dresser, Tatsuno, Tatsuno Benc, some types of Nuovo Pignone, Adast, Mepsan, Meksan, etc.). For fuel dispensers that have other input interfaces we have special interface converters (dispensers like Gilbarco, Tokheim, some types of Nuovo Pignone, etc.). - Back- and Head-Office software InfoPolis intended for remote control over activity of a fueling station, formation of reports on operation of a petrol station, analysis of data on sales of fuel and accompanying products thoughout a whole network of petrol stations, management over purchases, formation of price policies, book-keeping and management account.
Back- and Head-Office software InfoPolis has to be installed on a company-server so that users can receive reports and provide remote control over their filling stations using either a thin-client application, installed on their computers, or through a company web-site. - Start Italiana
magnetostrictive level probes intended for continious measurement of petroleum products levels (fuel and LPG), underproducts water level and temperature in tanks at petrol stations and storage depots.
Start Italiana magnetostrictive level probes are installed in tanks of a petrol station and allow remote monitoring of state of fuel in tanks, underproduct water and temperature. Interfaces in the probes' heads makes using them very convenient (no need to have additional control units). Start Italiana probes are directly connected to a PTS controller using RS-485 or RS-232 interface.
