Scan barcode for product data

Question

Good evening everyone, I am developing a system in JSP and in it I have a form for the user to register a product.

My question is, if there is any way, when the customer scans the product’s barcode in the "Code" input, javascript would do a search somewhere outside the system (in this case I think using AJAX) and return the product data referring to that code, displaying in the due fields.

Why are you so sure? I know that all products that have a barcode are registered in some entity that manages these codes, so I believe that there must be some way to do what I want, I just could not find.

If anyone knows, it will help me too, because it’s for my TCC!

Answer 1

Yes and no. Each company can generate the code they want for their barcodes. However, for commercial interests the major brands define their standards and there are some initiatives that centralize this information that can help in the identification of an item by its barcode. You can take a look at OPD- Open Product Database

By default every item when being registered in an inventory has its code registered, so that it is recognized later at the time of reading.
