16. A method for operating a pumping unit for a wellbore, comprising:
measuring one or more parameters of the pumping unit using a sensor attached to the pumping unit, the sensor being configured to communicate using a first communication protocol different than a second communication protocol of a data-based network;
transmitting sensor data from the sensor to an IoT gateway by using the first communication protocol, the IoT gateway being configured to communicate with a remote platform via an Internet-based network using a third communication protocol and being configured to communicate with a controller using a fourth communication protocol;
analyzing the sensor data to determine health status of the pumping unit using at least one of the IoT gateway and the remote platform;
providing maintenance and control of the pumping unit using the controller based on the determined health status; and
providing a feedback loop for the controller to provide the maintenance and control of the pumping unit using at least the sensor and the IoT gateway.
