M2M Around The World
DataOnline's
Remote Monitoring Solutions
for Industrial Gas Assets
Headquartered in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, rapidly growing company DataOnline is establishing a solid global network for its remote monitoring solutions.
Continually finding new markets and applications, the company’s products and services appear to be in ever-growing demand both at home and abroad.
DataOnline is now active in more than 35 countries and developing strong alliances with key players in the industrial gas business – an industry the company dominates in terms of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions.
So what exactly is M2M?
The company finds itself at the heart of a flourishing business sector, as the world of wireless tracking and process support takes on greater importance in the gases industry.
M2M is essentially an 'umbrella term' for systems where a machine or industrial asset exchanges data with an individual or the company's management systems, encompassing a wide variety of applications from vehicle tracking to utility monitoring.
With such a broad range of applications to service, the M2M industry is experiencing sharp growth, and forecasts in recent years have estimated its value to grow from $50B in 2007 to a more than healthy $220B in 2011.
DataOnline is dominant in terms of service and support to the industrial gases community, with over 90% of this market and impressive, double-digit sales growth each year.
The company specializes in providing sensors, communications and a Web portal to monitor industrial assets.
The new Cyl-Tel design was born out of an alliance with Chart.
DataOnline attributes much of its successful sales and fruitful 20-year history to established, long-term relationships with major gas companies, distributors and tank manufacturers. Partnerships with
smaller independent distributors have also been cultivated in the past few years, as the company's footprint and reputation expands.
Nurturing relationships within the industry is naturally a fundamental for DataOnline, one such example being its recent alliance with Chart Industries.
The two companies have teamed-up to repackage Chart's Cyl-Tel electronic liquid level gauge, so it can be readily upgraded in the field to transmit data to DataOnline's secure website. The redesign, resulting in the new Cyl-Tel Universal design, uses the same case as DataOnline's popular
DataPort telemetry unit and ensures components are interchangeable between the two products.
Bottom Line Impact
Keen to emphasize how positively DataOnline's services can enhance operations throughout the industrial gas spectrum, President Robert Barnacle explains, "In the current economic climate, DataOnline solutions are seen as a necessary technology for cost reduction, an important tool for optimizing the supply chain, providing inventory
and asset visibility and getting the most value from assets and resources. Our total end-to-end solutions are quick, easy and cost-effective, and as a one-stop shop we can impact our customers' bottom line immediately."

BREAKING NEWS
Welding Fume Litigation Update
After deliberating for just two hours, a Point Pleasant, WV, jury returned a verdict in favor of the welding industry on all counts following a 10-day trial. The jury found that John Belcher failed to prove that he suffers from manganism or any injury caused by exposure to welding fumes. The Belcher trial was the first welding fume case to be tried in West Virginia, a historically plaintiff-friendly jurisdiction.
No distributors remained in the case at the time of trial. The Belcher win
follows the defense victory in the Thomas case earlier this year in California. Belcher is the 23rd defense win, while plaintiffs have won just 4 welding fume trials. The win was especially sweet for the industry because Belcher was represented by the same lawyer who won the McClemore case in Mississippi last year. The next welding fume case scheduled to go to trial is the Cooley case on September 11 in the MDL in Ohio.
