Laser Level Brainstorming: Product Naming Rules & Model Coding Standards
This internal brainstorming session focused on standardizing laser level product naming rules, model coding, light source wavelength identification, and housing color labeling. Participants exchanged insights on optimizing the existing coding system, adjusting rules to align with market demands, and how to flexibly match configuration solutions to customer requirements for laser levels.
Discussion on Laser Level Naming Rules
Core naming conventions for laser levels were finalized during the brainstorm. Currently, the letter D denotes line quantity, while L represents level type. For instance, a 2-line laser level is labeled 2D, a 3-line model as 3D, and this sequential numbering applies to multi-line laser levels.
Wavelength naming follows ascending numerical order. A 5-wavelength laser level is marked with 12345, and new additional wavelengths will be identified by sequential numbers (e.g., 6, 7) for easy differentiation.
Light source color naming rules: Blue light sources are suffixed with L, black with BA, and gray requires no additional suffix. The team also deliberated retaining the 6857 product code and ultimately decided to keep it to distinguish between different laser level product lines.
Laser Level Model & Light Source Selection
In laser level models, the letter D directly indicates the number of laser lines-for example, 4D refers to a 4-line laser level. Specialized models (e.g., small 2-line, small 5-line laser levels) will adopt independent naming conventions to avoid confusion.
Light sources for laser levels are categorized into imported and domestic laser tubes, with varying wavelengths and price points. Customers can select cost-effective options or high-brightness laser tubes based on their usage scenarios (e.g., indoor vs. outdoor construction).
Currently, two light source types are available for laser levels: DC and standard. Budget-focused customers are matched with standard laser tubes, while high-brightness requirements are fulfilled using DBC laser tubes for enhanced visibility.
Laser Level Housing Color & Packaging
Housing color naming rules align with light source color standards: Blue housings with L suffix, black with BA suffix, and gray with no additional marking.
Dual-color packaging for laser levels is indicated by a connector symbol-for example, blue-and-white combinations are labeled as "BL-white" using the BL connector.
Custom laser level orders must specify clear packaging colors and accurate model coding to ensure production consistency.
Other Key Decisions
The laser level naming rules table will be updated in real time and shared in the team group for universal reference, ensuring all departments adhere to the latest standards.
The production department is tasked with light source selection for laser levels, choosing between imported or domestic laser tubes based on customer requirements and project specifications.
