Simatic iot2020; useful for low-cost monitoring?

Some weeks ago, Arduino/Siemens presented at the Rome Maker fair a “multi-task open Industrial IoT gateway” developed by Siemens and compatible with Arduino and related shields. (https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/simatic-iot2020) They promote its robustness (heat, dust, outdoor, etc.), its certification and low price. My first reaction was “very interesting” because robustness is a key requirement for outside datalogging in hot climates, and being able to send data to the web through a cellular connection is welcome. What do you opinion? Neccesary or optional? Compatible Mayfly?

With friendly greetings,
