Our ProductsOur Products The j5 FRAMEWORK is a configurable, flexible, web-

based system built on industrial-tested protocols using the latest in Python techniques and communication and database strategies.

APPLICATIONS are created by configuring the framework to a clearly defined set of business rules, using configuration, formatting and templating tools.

Personalisation is achieved by formatting the “look and feel” of an application to a given site or client.

Connections to other servers (web server, mail server, OPC server, etc) and Databases are established as per the client or site requirement.

PRODUCTS are applications that have been developed for use by many clients. The most commonly required features are included in the “product”. The product can still be “fine tuned” to a specific client or site or design specification.
