New Start for free features and benefits

Now with Start for free, partners, developers, and end-users can deliver MindSphere experiences faster than ever to their customers and demonstrate real business value.

Industrial connectivity

Explore MindSphere by connecting assets and uploading data!

Users can now choose from several options to connect industrial assets to MindSphere: MindConnect hardware, such as the Nano or IoT 2040; MindConnect Lib, to create a connectivity agent; or MindConnect Software Agent, to allow customers to transform devices into gateways.

Deploy apps to customers

Allow app operators to deploy their apps to free tenants on demand!

Partners can deploy their own apps or solutions to their customers' Start for free tenants as required via developer or operator cockpit. As the app owner, partners decide which customers get the app, and for how long it will be available for free.

Free to full experience

Get seamless land and expand the experience for partner's Start for free users!

Partners and customers can now transform their Start for free tenants into full access, paid accounts. Users can further extend their accounts on demand by purchasing the app, solution or service provided by the partner.

Partner tracking strings

Receive your customer registrations for Start for free, directly!

Partners can now promote Start for free directly to their customers using their own unique "promotion tracking string". Registrations completed using a tracking string are routed back directly to the respective partner. The partner can then help their customers implement use cases, and identify and generate real business benefits with MindSphere.
