Using Barcode Scanner to Open Programs

I am trying to set up barcode scanners on our CMMs so that when the operator puts a part on the fixture, they will scan the part and it will automatically open the proper program. If this kind of thing possible? I have seen some people using scanners to add data via comments, but is it feasible to scan a part and have it open the corresponding program?

  • Some companies using JoBarcode have produced a paper folder, with part descriptions and barcodes for one or more programs created for each part. They don't scan the barcode from the part as it is some completely different number with lots of other information. They just scan the applicable barcode in the folder.
