Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for the guided exchange of a replacement component for a mobile scanning device are provided. The replacement component may be another mobile scanning device, battery, or in some aspects, an empty charging port. The replacement component may be engaged by a remote charging station that communicates the current charge state to the mobile scanning device. In some aspects, this communication may be facilitated by wireless communication (e.g., an advertising packet, a bi-directional data exchange, or a combination of both). Once identified, a path from the mobile scanning device to the replacement component may be provided to the user. As the mobile scanning device approaches the remote charging station corresponding to the replacement component a locking mechanism may be disengaged and indicators provided to assist a user's identification of the target replacement component.
