To build industrial sensor-to-cloud proof of concepts that integrate your technology, you must understand the components, protocols, interfaces, and security considerations needed. Whether you supply precision sensors and actuators, or software analytics in cloud platforms, you need some combination of hardware and software elements to build a real-world PoC. The challenge is in connecting the OT domain with IT enterprise to represent relevant data that's usable for your business case. Many gateways are focused only on IT data models or hardware that is tailored to enterprise systems, but doesn't consider low-level, embedded systems with their memory constraints and latency requirements.
