Portable Displays

With unparalleled performance on the Web Pages

WebAssembly and .NET CodeBehind deliver blazing-fast performance for web pages, even with thousands of graphical elements.

Although you can create displays that need to open in only one environment or another, our platform supports the Portable option, where the exact same configuration can be used for both Windows/WPF clients and Web/HTML5 clients.

Users don't need to create two different kinds of screens for Windows and Web clients. Using the Portable option for the rendering engine creates displays that will automatically function in both desktop and web environments.

This feature enabled our users from previous releases to use the screens they created over the years on Windows desktops and open them directly in web browsers with no rework or modifications.


Designer and Runtime Themes

Our platform offers a thoughtfully curated collection of themes, each designed to elevate your experience, whether you’re working in a well-lit environment or a dimly lit space. These themes are not only visually striking but also enhance the functionality and comfort of your workspace. With a variety of light and dark themes inspired by natural elements, sophisticated hues, and modern aesthetics, there’s a perfect backdrop for any task.

They are available both in the Designer, when configuring the solutions, and on the displays you create for the operators when running the solution. The built-in tools enable the easy creation of solutions that will be delivered with theme support, with no extra effort required.

Theme Pairs:

  • Light & Dark: The Light theme provides a clean, bright interface ideal for daylight work, while the Dark theme offers a sleek, subdued option for low-light environments.
  • Sky & Navy: Inspired by the serenity of the sky and the depth of the ocean, Sky presents a light, airy feel, and Navy offers a deep, calming experience.
  • Gold & Coffee: Gold brings warmth and elegance to your workspace, while Coffee offers a rich, earthy ambiance.
  • Pearl & Indigo: Pearl is soft and inviting, perfect for a gentle workspace, while Indigo adds a bold, yet refined, atmosphere.
  • Steel & Graphite: Steel offers a cool, modern aesthetic, while Graphite presents a darker, more industrial feel.
  • HighContrastLight & HighContrastDark: These themes prioritize accessibility, providing high contrast for better visibility in both light and dark environments.
  • CustomLight & CustomDark: Tailor your experience with customizable themes, offering the flexibility to create a workspace that reflects your unique style.

Responsive Dashboards and Process Screens

Responsive Dashboards


Responsive display examples

Allows the easy creation of responsive User Interfaces that adapt automatically to the User's Device, from a Desktop to a Mobile, organizing the display elements. The same dashboard can be used by Desktop or Mobile users, in Windows Clients or Web Browsers.


Process Screens

For traditional process diagrams and synoptics, the Drawing tools allow extensive flexibility in layouts and frames, and include new features for customizing resizing: proportionally, using scrollbars, or allowing specific objects to resize or change position according to the client window.



Desktop, Mobile (Portrait and Landscape) and HTML5 preview

Easily customize your layout to work properly in various scenarios, with a centralized configuration and preview feature.





Smart Symbols Library

Smart Symbols

The Drawing tool includes a library of around 2,000 Smart Symbols, graphical elements typically used in industrial applications. Many of these symbols are more than just vector images; they also have dynamic behavior that allows for direct mapping to your Tags and Assets. It also includes a set of Industrial Icons, specially designed for typical visuals on process displays.

High-Performance HMI

The well-known book High Performance HMI proposed a set of standards for HMI design. Our platform fully supports the creation of solutions that adhere to these standards, including High-Performance Graphical (HPG) palettes in its themes and hundreds of ready-to-use symbols created according to those specifications.

Advanced Components and Controls

For advanced graphical interfaces, such as Gantt and Trend Charts, DataGrids, PdfViewer, and others, a set of graphical components for both WPF and Web is included. Additionally, third-party controls can be easily integrated into the solution.


Self-Aware Dynamic Displays

Data-centric applications can have their User Interface created automatically based on the assets found in the Data Model. Typically, these applications are organized around a Unified Namespace, MQTT Broker, or OPC UA servers. FrameworX establishes a dynamic connection with these servers, selecting the best UI elements according to the data found on the connected servers.
