Product Series

FrameworX delivers industrial automation through three product series and specialized distributed servers, all built on a single unified platform. Every edition shares the same development environment, core technologies, and deployment flexibility.

The difference between editions lies in scale and scope, not features. Choose based on your deployment size and visualization needs, knowing you can upgrade seamlessly as requirements grow.
