Mitsubishi Electric is preparing a global rollout of its latest Human-Machine Interface, the GOT3000, as the Japanese industrial group seeks to strengthen its position in the fast-growing market for connected factory equipment.
The HMI, available worldwide from September 2025, is aimed at manufacturers upgrading plants for increased automation, real-time data analysis, and remote monitoring. Mitsubishi Electric said the device is intended to operate not only as a traditional touchscreen interface, but also as a secure bridge between shop-floor machinery and higher-level IT systems, reflecting the sector’s accelerating push towards digital transformation.
The system supports international industrial communication standards, including OPC UA Client and Server, enabling integration with a broad range of factory automation equipment and enterprise systems. It also includes a built-in browser for configuration without a PC, NFC tag reading, USB connectivity, camera inputs, and HDMI output for enhanced monitoring.
Mitsubishi Electric said encrypted communication and a built-in VPN will allow companies to manage multiple devices remotely, a requirement becoming more common as manufacturers pursue predictive maintenance and centralised oversight of production sites.
The company emphasised that the new platform retains a familiar engineering environment for existing users, while adding features intended to reduce development time. It is also compatible with the group’s new MX Controller, designed to streamline communication between control systems and HMIs, and supports a range of legacy and next-generation industrial networks, including CC-Link IE TSN.
The GOT3000 introduces a new high-definition display capable of showing 16 million colours, coupled with a capacitive multi-touch screen to support gesture-based controls. Video can be streamed directly from connected cameras, with both live and recorded footage viewable for troubleshooting equipment malfunctions.
Go Wakamatsu, General Manager, HMI System Dept. at Mitsubishi Electric, said the launch marked a culmination of more than a decade of HMI development. “With the GOT3000, we’re enabling customers to advance their digital transformation with confidence, combining advanced performance with trusted engineering to drive the next generation of smart production,” he said.
The company expects demand from sectors including automotive, semiconductors, material handling, and pharmaceuticals, which are investing heavily in automation and data-driven operations as labour markets tighten and cost pressures increase.
Mitsubishi Electric, which recorded revenue of ¥5,521.7bn in the year to 31st March 2025, has been expanding its factory automation business globally, supported by service networks across EMEA, Asia, and the Americas.
