What is CompressionMD?

CompressionMD is an advanced configuration and diagnostic tool built to refine PI System compression and exception settings. It tackles common performance challenges such as slow data retrieval, missing data, inefficient disk usage, and sluggish PI Vision performance.

By analyzing historical data trends, Compressionᴹᴰ calculates optimal compression parameters that balance data integrity with storage efficiency. The result is smoother data flow, faster visualizations, and more reliable reporting, without compromising accuracy.

How CompressionMD Works

At its core, CompressionMD employs a data-driven algorithm that studies PI tag behavior over time. It then determines ideal compression and exception thresholds, automatically adjusting system configurations for improved data management.
