A rolling apparatus is proposed with four rolls arranged in the shape of a star whereby one drive unit each is assigned to the rolls and whereby an adjusting unit each precedes the rolls through which the rolls are arranged adjustably in a radial and an axial direction. The separate and comprehensive triggering of the individual rolls (3) always allows a symmetrical introduction of the rolling stock to and through the rolling apparatus.

The method of claim 1 further comprising providing the information to be stored in and the information produced from the electronic memory of the visitor smart tag in a form including a permanent number, application specific data and a relational check number representative of the permanent number and/or the application specific number. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein said processing includes processing information in a form including a permanent number, application specific data and a relational check number representative of the permanent number and/or the application specific number. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein said issuing a visitor smart tag comprises issuing a visitor smart tag including an electronic memory and an antenna coupled to the electronic memory for transmitting and/or receiving information-bearing electrical signals in the smart tag format; and wherein said communicating information-bearing electrical signals comprises: operatively coupling an antenna or an antenna array to a respective one of the smart tag readers for transmitting and/or receiving the information-bearing electrical signals to and/or from a visitor smart tag proximate the respective station associated therewith. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein said operatively coupling includes disposing a plurality of loops of the antenna or antenna array for providing a detection region including a predetermined area of a particular one of the plurality of stations. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein said operatively coupling includes disposing the plurality of loops of the antenna or antenna array on flexible substrates providing a flexible curtain at an access way. 13. The method of claim 11 further comprising one of: spatially separating the plurality of loops of the antenna or antenna array such that less than about 50% of the effective electromagnetic field region of the respective loops overlap within the detection region, and temporally separating the plurality of loops of the antenna or antenna array by activating ones of the plurality of loops sequentially in time. 14. The method of claim 1 wherein said processing includes centrally processing in communication with locally processing in communication with the smart tag readers. 15. The method of claim 10 wherein said processing includes providing a human-perceivable indication responsive to the presence of a smart tag within a detection region of the antenna or antenna array. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein said providing a human-perceivable indication includes one of providing a light, an audible indication, an alpha-numeric display, a display on a computer monitor, and a print out. 17. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing a report including processed visitor information and/or processed exhibitor information. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein said providing a report includes providing a document, a paper, an electronic file, a floppy disk, an optical disk, an electronic medium a CD-ROM disk, and/or a report via the Internet. 19. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving visitor registration information, and storing at least part of the visitor registration information on the visitor smart tag as visitor information. 20. The method of claim 1 further comprising storing exhibitor information in an electronic memory at a station. 21. The method of claim 1 further comprising collecting the visitor smart tag. 22. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing a visual and/or aural greeting message responsive to the processed visitor information. 23. The method of claim 1 wherein said processing further includes: granting and/or denying access responsive to the processed visitor information, and/or checking out a visitor responsive to the processed visitor information and/or the processed exhibitor information. 24. A system wherein a visitor having a smart t
