Over 30 years ago in my video stores we would attach preprinted bar code stickers to videotapes and used a bar code reader to check out movies.
In the handibot video i saw them using a barcode and reader to automate making the parts and thought those of you who make several different parts for cabinets or whatever might benefit from some type of sorting system like that?
In my system we tied a certain barcode to a specific movie so when we called up a customer account we would scan the barcode and it would assign that movie to that person.
In the shopbot video it looks like he scans the barcode and that barcode triggers a specific toolopath.
I guess that eliminates calling up wrong toolpaths but i'm not sure how you, or if you need to, then tag the part with an associated barcode.
