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."
Duratomic® technology raises the bar in steel turning
Seco® introduces TP3502, a new CVD-coated Duratomic® turning insert that represents a breakthrough in insert design for ISO P steel applications. Thanks to continuous improvements in manufacturing methods, TP3502 establishes itself as the new benchmark in performance. The result is exceptionally stable and predictable tool life, even under interrupted cutting and varied machining conditions. A new benchmark for steel turning TP3502 was developed for steel machining applications involving varying material hardness, complex component shapes, and interrupted cuts. Positioned as a versatile ISO P insert, it balances wear resistance and toughness in a wide range of applications. Rated in the ISO P35 range, TP3502 is designed to compete with CVD inserts in steel turning. The insert features an updated coating and cutting edge preparation designed to produce a more controlled wear progression and longer insert life than previous generations. The goal is to enable higher cutting speeds while maintaining process stability and consistent part quality. Designed for interrupted or variable cutting conditions TP3502 is an insert for turning steels, from low-alloy steels and stainless steels to ductile irons and powder metallurgy materials. These applications often involve interruptions and variable cutting conditions, requiring both toughness and reliable performance. "With TP3502, the focus is on improving process reliability in steel turning," says Mikael Lindholm, Global Product Manager General ISO Turning at Seco. " This stability allows manufacturers to increase cutting data and simplify production planning ." The insert also incorporates features to support digitalization and sustainability initiatives. Chrome edge detection is designed to help operators maximize the use of each cutting edge, while a Data Matrix code enables digital traceability and monitoring. The TP3502 is manufactured using recycled powder and is included in the recycle-buy-back program, supporting waste reduction and sustainability reporting.
