Scheduling and grouping walls with identical geometry

I am producing precast concrete wall panels, and want to know how I'd be able to sort/identify identical wall panels early on in the project. I don't think there is an OOTB option to be able to do this, but I feel like it should be possible since when creating assemblies it recognizes identical duplicated assemblies. 

The only parameters required to get this to work 99% of the time would be wall thickness, length, height, and openings. I'm not sure if this is something Dynamo could resolve or what my best options are. 

 

Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

I'm not clear on the challenge you are having.  You cannot "sort/group identical panels"?  Why not?

Maybe the solution is painstakingly obvious then and I'm trying to get too fancy. You're saying you know of a way to schedule: (for example)

- All wall panels that are 10' long and 20' tall schedule into Group 'Type 1'

- Panels that are 10' long and 20' tall with one 3'x7' door centered in it 'Type 2'

-10' long and 20' tall with one 3'x7' door on the left side 'Type 3'

 

etc. etc for each unique instance.

 

I feel like as I'm asking the question the answer might just be to use a standard schedule and use the host of available parameters to sort and group the panels. I'm not sure off the top of my head if there are parameters available for openings and locations of openings though?
