Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving, from a remote location, a request to generate a unique equipment code identifying a device. Identifying characteristics of the device are determined, and a unique equipment code is generated. The unique equipment code is generated by applying policy based rules summarized in one or more predetermined information dependency graphs while combining at least some of the determined identifying characteristics in a specific order. Moreover, the combined identifying characteristics are converted into a corresponding alphanumeric string. The unique equipment code is assigned to the device and the unique equipment code is also transmitted to the remote location.
