Simplifying Product Identification with STAUFF Nomenclature

The STAUFF Nomenclature is a systematic way to identify and decode product part numbers and descriptions. Each STAUFF product, from adaptors to clamps and hoses, is assigned a unique description that provides detailed information about its type, size, material, thread, and other attributes. This logical and standardised system ensures that every part is distinguishable, helping you find exactly what you need with ease.

Precision is crucial in hydraulic systems, where even minor errors can lead to downtime or failures. The STAUFF Nomenclature eliminates guesswork by providing:

• Accurate Product Identification: Each description is unique, leaving no room for ambiguity.
• Streamlined Operations: Simplified part selection saves time during ordering and inventory management.
• Error Prevention: Consistent descriptions reduce input errors in procurement and documentation.
• Seamless Integration: Easily update your systems with detailed product data in formats like XLS or CSV.
• Enhanced Future-Proofing: Both original and updated descriptions are displayed on documents and labels for continuity.

Our Designation Rules (DR) Sheets provide a step-by-step guide to decoding STAUFF part numbers. Here’s how it works:

1. Start General, Go Specific: Each part number begins with broad details (like product type) and narrows down to specific attributes. For example:
   - Code: ADP - CE90 - G08/U04 - MM - FG - W66 - A - OR-B - xxx
   - Breakdown: Adaptor Type, Connection Style, Thread Type, Material, and more.
2. Use Colour-Coded Guides: DR Sheets highlight critical information in sections:
   - Orange: Explanation of Designation Rules (logic behind the codes).
   - Blue: Customer-friendly descriptions paired with technical details.
   - Green: Index of original and updated descriptions for seamless transitions.
3. Integrate Easily: Use the nomenclature system to standardise processes, streamline ordering, and improve documentation.

•    Engineers & Technicians: Quickly identify the right product for your application.
•    Procurement Teams: Avoid errors and delays in purchasing.
•    Operations Managers: Standardise inventory management and improve efficiency.
•    Anyone with a Material Number
