Forbidden zones

Forbidden zones are areas of the map that robots must not drive through, for example a pedestrian walkway or an area under maintenance. Paths that cross a forbidden zone turn grey and are no longer used to plan routes. Robots take other paths around the zone instead.

Create a forbidden zone

  1. In the Map editor, click Add zones on map in the side toolbar and choose the Line tool or the Rectangle tool.
  2. Select Forbidden zone as the Type and click Create zone.
  3. Draw the zone on the map.

Forbidden zones are shown as red areas. Paths that cross them are shown in grey, and routes use the paths around them instead:

When you delete a forbidden zone, its paths can be used again.

For the general steps to add and edit zones, see Zones.
