Mitsubishi Electric has announced the global launch of its new GOT3000 operator panel (HMI), designed to support the acceleration of digital transformation (DX) in manufacturing with new features that enhance connectivity, usability, and system integration.
As manufacturers pursue greater efficiency, real-time visibility, and smarter automation, the requirements placed on HMI devices have increased significantly. In response to these new needs, Mitsubishi Electric has leveraged its extensive industry experience and designed the GOT3000 to serve not only as a machine interface, but also as a secure gateway between factory equipment and higher-level IT systems. This allows users to maximize the value of their production data, ensuring the ease of use and reliability they expect from Mitsubishi Electric.
Designed for connectivity in the DX era
The role of the GOT3000 goes far beyond screen interaction. 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 industrial 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 functions such as NFC contactless tag reading and USB connectivity. It also offers a network camera and built-in HDMI output, further expanding its real-time monitoring and system integration capabilities.
Secure remote access is enabled through communication and data encryption, as well as built-in VPN functionality, facilitating centralized management of multiple devices via the cloud. This ensures the GOT3000 is ready to enable remote maintenance, predictive monitoring, and other key DX initiatives.
Design with Intuition
While the GOT3000 introduces a number of innovative features, it continues to prioritize ease of use with engineering tools and workflows that will be instantly familiar to existing GOT users. The platform retains the intuitive screen design environment that engineers rely on, now enhanced with advanced features to accelerate development and interface customization.
Compatibility with Mitsubishi Electric's new MX Controller, the high-performance all-in-one platform for digital and motion control, enables deeper system integration, simplifying communication between HMIs and controllers and reducing engineering costs. Support for a wide range of connectivity standards, including CC-Link IE TSN industrial networking and legacy systems, ensures the GOT3000 can easily adapt to a wide range of production environments.
Extremely fast and intelligent
At the heart of the GOT3000 is a newly developed high-definition display, capable of reproducing up to 16 million colors in impressive detail. This vivid visual clarity is paired with a multi-touch capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen, enabling precise and responsive control with familiar gestures such as swiping, pinching, and tapping, improving operator comfort and reducing the possibility of input errors.
The interface also supports dynamic frame animations, providing smoother transitions and more immersive navigation, while live video viewing via camera connection enables real-time visual monitoring of processes. Because video can be recorded and viewed live, in the event of a malfunction, users can simultaneously view both recorded footage and the current live feed to investigate the root cause, enabling faster problem recovery.
A milestone release from a trusted leader in automation
Available globally from September 2025, the GOT3000 is poised to become a central component for smart factories of the future. Designed for demanding industries such as automotive, semiconductor, material handling, and pharmaceuticals, it enables manufacturers to confidently take the next step in their digital journey.
"With the GOT3000, we enable customers to advance their digital transformation with confidence, combining advanced performance and reliable engineering to power the next generation of smart manufacturing," said Go Wakamatsu, General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric's HMI Systems Business Unit. "Based on over 12 years of HMI design experience and the feedback of thousands of users, the GOT3000 not only reflects our long tradition of successful HMI development, but also offers what customers need for smarter, more efficient manufacturing."
Digital monitoring improves motor reliability in a cement manufacturing plant
WEG and Nuova Ites implement WEGSCAN solution to improve efficiency Nuova Ites Srl, a leading European company specializing in the repair and overhaul of rotating electrical machinery, recently partnered with industrial equipment manufacturer WEG to improve operational monitoring of one of the key industrial motors at a cement plant. As part of its ongoing commitment to reliability and performance, Nuova Ites installed the WEGSCAN electric motor monitoring system, a cutting-edge solution developed by WEG to monitor motor performance and identify potential issues before they impact operations. Nuova Ites, a specialist in the repair and overhaul of rotating electrical machinery across Europe, with over 800 wind turbines fully serviced in collaboration with leading operators such as Vestas, Enel, and ERG Renew, identified the need for continuous motor monitoring in a high-load application. In this case, a 132 kW, 2-pole WEG special series motor was coupled to an Atlas Copco compressor, forming a critical component of the customer's production process. Performance and reliability in this mixed-equipment configuration were crucial, but visibility into the motor's condition was limited. To address this issue, WEG supplied and installed a complete monitoring solution consisting of the Cassia X2000 Gateway and the WEGSCAN 100 unit. Following a WEG technical visit to the Nuova Ites workshop in late 2025, the equipment was ordered and delivered in early January 2026. The system was configured on-site to meet the specific application requirements and integrated into the monitoring processes of both Nuova Ites and the cement plant. The WEGSCAN system is designed to support real-time monitoring of multiple operating parameters, including vibration signatures, temperature trends, and other mechanical and electrical health indicators. Its dual-access capability allows engineers to view data from a standard PC interface or smartphone, facilitating remote condition monitoring and immediate performance visibility. Supporting the monitoring infrastructure is the Cassia X2000 Gateway, which serves as the system's communications hub. The gateway enables reliable wireless connectivity between the WEGSCAN device and the wider network, ensuring that operating data from the engine can be transmitted and accessed in real time. Designed for demanding conditions, the gateway operates over a wide temperature range of −40 to 65°C, ensuring stable communication between sensors and monitoring systems in harsh operating environments. By acquiring continuous operational data, Nuova Ites is now able to identify early signs of abnormal behavior and proactively plan maintenance, helping to reduce unplanned downtime, optimize service interventions, and improve overall energy efficiency. This level of insight is particularly valuable in environments where the costs of downtime and reactive repairs are high. "For Nuova Ites, the monitoring system has become an essential tool in its service portfolio, helping to integrate condition-based maintenance into the standard workflow and offering customers greater reliability and full lifecycle support," said Fabrizio Arosio, Head of Drive and Automation Systems at WEG Italia. “With the ability to more closely monitor critical engines, the company is better equipped to anticipate problems, optimize maintenance planning, and provide data-driven insights that add measurable value to asset performance and business continuity.” Digital monitoring technologies like WEGSCAN also help make industrial operations more sustainable. By providing continuous information on engine performance under real-world operating conditions, operators can keep equipment closer to its optimum efficiency point. In energy-intensive industries like cement production, improving the efficiency and lifespan of critical rotating equipment plays an important role in reducing overall resource consumption and supporting more sustainable plant operations.
