When naming your regions, the most important thing to strive for is consistency. It helps to devise a naming convention that makes sense for your organization, and then write in the names on your diagram. By coming up with a standardized way of naming your regions, you prevent duplications in your database, and you can easily make additions to your Tracking Model in the future, if needed.
Some ideas for naming conventions are:
Use the Workstation ID that marks
either the entry or exit
point of the region.
Use the device ID that marks
either the entry OR exit point of
the region.
Base names on the functionality of
the region, e.g. Assembly Line1, Oven 2, Robot 3, etc.
Base names on the location in the
factory.
Limit names to a specific number
of characters, for example 10 characters maximum.
