HMI acts as a machine interface and a secure gateway between factory equipment and higher-level IT systems

Mitsubishi Electric has announced the global launch of its GOT3000 Human-Machine Interface (HMI), which is designed to support the manufacturing sector’s accelerating digital transformation (DX) with new capabilities that enhance connectivity, usability, and system integration

As manufacturing businesses pursue greater efficiency, real-time visibility, and smarter automation, the requirements placed on HMI devices have grown significantly. In response, Mitsubishi Electric has engineered the GOT3000 to act not only as a machine interface but as a secure gateway between factory equipment and higher-level IT systems.

Built for connectivity

The GOT3000’s role extends far beyond screen interaction. By supporting international standards for industrial communication, such as OPC UA Client and OPC UA Server, it enables seamless integration with higher-level information systems and a wide range of factory automation (FA) devices.

The device also includes a built-in web browser, allowing users to configure and monitor equipment without a PC, and supports advanced communication features such as NFC contactless tag reading and USB connectivity. It also offers USB and network camera connectivity and built-in HDMI output. further expanding its capabilities for real-time monitoring and system integration.

Secure remote access is enabled through encrypted communication, data encryption, and built-in VPN capabilities, making it easy to manage multiple devices from a central location via the cloud. This ensures that the GOT3000 is ready to help enable remote maintenance, predictive monitoring, and other key DX initiatives.

Engineering with ease

While the GOT3000 introduces a host of powerful new capabilities, it continues to prioritize ease of use with engineering tools and workflows that will feel instantly familiar to existing GOT users. The platform retains the intuitive screen design environment that engineers rely on, now enhanced with improved functionality to accelerate interface development and customisation.

Compatibility with Mitsubishi Electric’s new MX Controller allows for even greater system integration, streamlining communication between HMI and controller and reducing engineering overhead. This support for a wide variety of connectivity standards, including the CC-Link IE TSN industrial network, and legacy systems ensures that the GOT3000 can fit smoothly into a broad range of production environments.

Smarter, smoother, sharper

At the heart of the GOT3000 is a newly developed high-definition display, capable of rendering up to 16 million colors in impressive detail. This vivid visual clarity is paired with a capacitive multi-touch touchscreen (PCAP), enabling precise, responsive control with familiar gestures such as swiping, pinching, and tapping, enhancing operator comfort and reducing the possibility of input errors.

The interface also supports dynamic frame animations, providing smoother transitions and more engaging screen navigation, while live video display via camera connection allows real-time visual monitoring of processes. Video can be recorded and displayed live. In the event of a malfunction, users can simultaneously view both the recorded footage and the current live feed to investigate the root cause, enabling quicker recovery from issues.
