Hey @sjhansen3, Thanks for the replies.
@Achllle and I hopped on a call I showed him a bit of the system I have and he showed me around Freedom’s system. Very cool stuff. I’m going to try out Freedom for admin monitoring and visibility as soon as we have enough downtime on one of our systems. I’m now very excited that I don’t have to implement a bunch of this stuff.
Wrt data compression, if you start looking around at “data historian” you can find stuff from the big automation folks. Here is an older video for the Factory Talk Data Historian Exception/Compression system .
