1. A system that generates unique identifiers for work orders utilized in a factory, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
a randomizer component that generates pseudo-random data, wherein the pseudo-random data includes information indexed into at least one system table that indicates information indicating a location in an industrial hierarchy of the factory where a work order is generated; and
a unique identifier creator that receives the pseudo-random data and receives object instance data associated with the work order and combines the object instance data and the pseudo-random data to generate a unique identifier for the work order,wherein the object instance data comprises time stamp data for the work order utilized in the manufacturing environment and location data for the work order utilized in the manufacturing environment, the location data includes at least one of a path for a machine that created the work order or a node identifier.

Abstract
A system that facilitates generation of a unique identifier comprises a random number generator. A unique identifier creator receives a number generated by the random number generator and object instance data associated with an object. The unique identifier creator utilizes the object instance data and the random number to generate a unique identifier for an object associated with the object instance data.

20. A method for uniquely identifying objects generated in a distributed enterprise system, comprising:
employing a processor executing computer executable instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium to implement the following acts; receiving time-stamp data, related to a time of generation of an object, formatted according to a standard consistent across the distributed enterprise system and location data that identifies a location within the distributed enterprise system where the object is generated; receiving pseudo-random data from a randomizer component, wherein the pseudo-random data includes information indexed into at least one system table that indicates information indicating a location in an industrial hierarchy where a unique identifier is generated; combining the time-stamp data, the location data and the pseudo-random data to generate the unique identifier that uniquely identifies the object; and associating the unique identifier with the object, wherein the object is a work order generated in a factory. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
