Tool naming

With ,, potential names, mostly well off the beaten track, you can populate an entire country with unique character names. For all you cunning linguists out there suffering from acute morpheme addiction. A morpheme is a meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word or word element that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts, and we cram them together in over , ways in our little machine.

We even cheat and throw in some extra here and there. The addictive Drug-O-Matic brings the power of the big pharmaceutical companies to you, the little guy.

Their power? To saturate the collective consciousness with names like Paxil, Zantec, and of course, Prozac. Experience has shown, however, that company founders have little enough of either at their disposal.

Fortunately, NameRobot has some super helpful services. NameRobot Toolbox, Namefruits and NameScore let founders cheaply and quickly find and check ideas for company and business names.

Tool naming conventions for tool cribs and databases I have been given the task of creating a database to track the use of tools at the shop where I work.

The shop is medium sized, with just over 60 machines, mostly Mazak Quickturn and Integrex. We currently have a Cribmaster database for our consumables that is stocked by our insert supplier. We want to use Cribmaster or another similar software to create a database of our durable tools, tool holders, and gauges. The greatest problem we are facing right now is creating a naming convention for the tools we want add to the system.

The owner of the company wants the database logical and to be searchable based on use of the tool. After a considerable amount of Googling and sending emails, I have not been able to find a standard naming convention for such databases. The naming convention is an expansion to ISO I have not been able to find enough information to be able to implement it. What does your shop use for tool naming conventions? Does anyone here use GTC or have more information for a shop looking to implement it?

Are there other standard naming conventions I have been unable to find? I don't have to worry about that because of my size or amount of tool inventory but if I was going to do that, here is my approach.

First, list all the types of tools you want to catalog and depending on how many different types you have, assign a 2 or 3 digit numeric code for each group. Determine the manufacturers that you use and assign a 2 or 3 digit numeric code regardless of the type code. List key features of any particular tool and these can be broken down by the tool type and again assign a numeric code. So now you have a three segment numeric identifier, with either no symbol between segments or a dash or period, that should cover all of your tools.

It may sound like a lot of work, but in the 8 hours between your post and mine, it could have been implemented. You could also web search Create Intelligent Part Numbers. It will lead you to a similar result as what you're looking for.

This article has some decent info but was the only one I actually clicked on. Originally Posted by user. We have approximately 1, different tools in stock. When our crib was set up 13 years ago they used a 6 digit code for all tools and each type started off with the same three digits.

It makes it a lot easier to manage and stock that way, little harder on the report side. We had a few articles in MMS and we'd be happy to share what we've learned with tool tracking. How would you suggest we get started? Unfortunately the owner of the company has some been a bit unclear with his expectations.

All he has been clear about is that he wants to be able to search for a tool based on the use. Unfortunately since no universal naming standard exists we are struggling to come up with a naming convention that works for all our tools. I don't want to go off half cocked with only a slight idea of where to go. If you could please send me the links to your articles that would be great.

I am trying to learn as much as possible about the topic. Right now we are looking at adapting a number system based on Kennametal's catalog organization. After about 8 years of having everyone search for whatever tool they needed, we came up with a locked down tool list from the crib.
