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?

  • I know this response is coming a bit late, but for anyone else who might have the same question, it's definitely possible to use barcode scanners to open programs. In fact, it's a common practice in many industries where barcodes are used to manage inventory and automate processes.
