Claim 7:
8. A system, comprising:
a network gateway coupled to a network;
a processor communicatively coupled to the network gateway; and
a memory accessible by the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a set of inputs associated with a naming convention for a plurality of objects in an object library, the set of inputs comprising a set of object names, each object name corresponding to a respective industrial automation device disposed along a flow path of an industrial automation system, wherein the industrial automation system is configured to perform a process for manufacturing a product, and wherein the flow path defines a flow of the product through the industrial automation system;
applying a machine learning algorithm to derive a plurality of rules associated with the naming convention based on the set of inputs, known information about the plurality of objects in the library, and based on a position of an object relative to one or more objects along the flow path of the industrial automation system;
receiving an input selecting an object from the plurality of objects in the object library and adding the object to a window visualization of the industrial automation system, wherein the object comprises a user interface element representative of a first industrial automation device;
deriving a name for the selected object corresponding to the first industrial automation device in accordance with the naming convention; and
replacing, for each instance of the object in the library, each instance of the object in a corresponding project, or both, an existing name for the object with the name.
