Patent number: 11905129Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for conveyor operation and maintenance that employ one or both of a “smart shoe” technology where one or more conveyor shoes incorporate features, such as an RFID tag, and a “missing pin detection” technology where one or more pin components of conveyor shoes incorporate features, such as an RFID tag, allowing selective wireless tracking and identification capability. A conveyor system comprises a shoe management system allowing interactions directly with one or more RFID readers, which can detect, store and/or monitor information associated with “smart shoe” and/or “missing pin detection” RFID tags, where interface between this application and the reader can be implemented via a socket interface. System and method also or optionally provide for unique slat installation and removal.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: AEGIS SORTATION, LLCInventor: Kenneth Jay Ice

Patent number: 11820608Abstract: A sorting system is provided. The sorter system includes a conveyor frame, slats disposed on the conveyor frame and extending substantially perpendicularly to a central axis of the conveyor frame. Shoes are disposed on the slat and are moveable between a central position adjacent to the central axis of the conveyor frame, and a distal position adjacent to one of a first and second side of the conveyor frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: AEGIS SORTATION LLCInventor: Kenneth Jay Ice
