So they can log how much is being used, track how old it is, etc.
Why wouldn’t a company want to have the date alongside their inventory and sales.
Cause the actual date doesn't matter.
You log epoch time, and convert as needed.
Though the as-needed convert may be the issue.
Surely you can do all that without tying the functioning of the entire pumping system directly to the time stamp though, right?
