The C64 is not used to run the shop. It is used to control a drive-shaft balancing machine.
The article talks about "transferring 25 years of records" but that's not what's going on at all. It's just acting as a microprocessor. Also, the computer was programmed in 1990.
What's really surprising here is that the disk drive is still operating.
