NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J., April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DataOnline, a leading global provider of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, today announced the company has formally rebranded as Anova. The new brand incorporates DataOnline and its wholly-owned businesses, WESROC, Wikon and iTank. These businesses have collaborated since coming together in 2018 and rebranding as Anova formalizes the relationship to optimize resources and enhance delivery of service to customers across the geographies and markets Anova serves.

"Uniting our operations under the Anova brand positions us as the global leader in IIoT across industrial gases, chemicals, oils, propane, water and other sectors," said Chet Reshamwala, CEO of Anova. "Now all our customers and partners know that, regardless of their business or region, they can turn to Anova for powerful remote monitoring solutions, more than 30 years of industry expertise and personalized service. In addition, a single brand enables us to collaborate more efficiently with customers who span multiple end markets."

The name Anova comes from "Analysis of Variance," a type of statistical test used in scientific and industrial measurement, and it reflects everything the company provides to customers—data collection, insights, analysis, measurement, intelligent decision-making and positive impact.

"The Anova brand represents a renewed commitment to innovation and global customer engagement," said Reshamwala. "Our clients will also benefit from a consolidated engineering team that is better able to leverage our entire knowledge base to deliver innovations in critical areas such as improved battery life, emerging wireless technologies, mobile apps and predictive maintenance."

Anova will continue to use its legacy brands for industry-specific product lines over the coming year to ensure a smooth transition for customers.

This initiative follows a pivotal 2018, during which the company completed the acquisitions of Wikon, iTank, and Independent Technologies (owner of the WESROC brand), increasing its global footprint to more than 1,000 customers in nearly 70 countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Over the last 12 months, the company has increased its headcount over five times to support its exponential growth in sales, data solutions, customer service and success, technical support, research and development, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics.
