Imagine this scenario: late at night, a perpetrator breaks into a fuel station with the intent to steal. However, the moment they cross into the cashier zone, an alarm is triggered. Instantly, a device hidden behind the counter activates – within seconds, the space is filled with an impenetrable fog. The intruder loses orientation, can’t see anything, and has no chance to steal or damage any station equipment. Frightened and disoriented, they flee empty-handed. This is exactly the type of protection M2C Innovis is now implementing at MOL fuel stations!
In early April 2025, the first demonstration of the new security technology – the Fog Cannon Modular 200 by VARNET – took place at a MOL station in Králův Dvůr. The technology uses extremely dense security fog to provide immediate protection of the premises in case of intrusion.
During testing, the device was activated for 11 seconds (see video demonstration). The Fog Cannon, positioned behind the counter, instantly filled the area with very dense fog, making any visual orientation impossible. The effect was immediate and clearly demonstrated the power of the technology – the intruder has no chance to locate the cash register or any other valuables and is forced to leave the premises quickly.

The Fog Cannon technology was evaluated by the client as highly effective, and MOL has already ordered the system to be installed at 7 fuel stations, with the first implementation scheduled for May this year.
Leave safety compliance monitoring to smart technology and prevent risks without burdening human resources.
Central BMS control
Entrust the building management of your retail units to a team of experts and save on operations. Central BMS (building management system - MAR) control uses remote control and monitoring of technologies from one central location by our team of professionals.
Automatic reception
The electronic receptionist (e-Reception) will automate and streamline the existing reception or entrance to the premises. It can fully or partially replace the usual reception processes such as checking in and identifying visitors, maintaining attendance books, video linking with people inside the building, issuing entry cards or generating QR codes.
The digitisation of public administration in Czech Republic has been a big topic for several years now, and has brought a number of innovations and modernisations not only in the public sector. One of them is eDocuments, a modern and secure way of verifying identity without the need to carry a physical identity document. While previously their use was limited, today they can be applied in the private sphere. M2C Innovis currently offers this
INNOVIS HAS IMPROVED THE AUTOMATION OF ACCESS TO BUILDINGS AND PREMISES
The speed at which innovative technologies, automation and artificial intelligence are finding their way into all segments of life is very high. Above all, companies need to invest in and familiarize their employees with the possibilities offered by these technologies or risk falling behind the competition. Innovis, the technology division of the M2C holding, has therefore been offering an improved version of the E-Reception product, now called Welcomo, since this spring. It
