Abstract
A barcode-reading device can be configured to transmit a beacon message under certain circumstances in which the barcode-reading device may be lost, or may be likely to become lost, such as when a barcode-reading device becomes unintentionally disconnected from a base station. Intermediary systems can be configured to periodically listen for beacon messages from barcode-reading devices. When an intermediary system receives a beacon message, the intermediary system can determine whether the beacon message was sent by a barcode-reading device. If it was, the intermediary system can forward the beacon message (or at least some of the contents of the beacon message) to a remote server. In response to receiving a forwarded beacon message, a remote server can generate and send a notification message to one or more recipients. The notification message can also include information that indicates (or is in some way related to) the location of the barcode-reading device.
