  • Publication number: 20060083888
    Abstract: A system for handling, organizing and storing floor mats includes a loading station and control center. The loading station can include a radio frequency identification device (RFID). The elevator RFID may communicate with the control center. The loading station may be connected to an elevator. The elevator may lift the mat to a primary collector conveyor. The control center may cause the mat to be moved to an organizer carousel wherein mats are stored, based on a set organization method. The control center may initiate the mats to be removed from the organizer carousel and moved to the off-going transfer conveyor, where the mats may then be rolled. The organizing and storing method of the system alleviates inefficiency of conventional handling, organizing and storing techniques.
