Obstacles
If the AMR will be entering high-traffic areas, take appropriate precautions to alert people in those
areas that an AMR might enter. If the traffic consists of other machines, adjust the AMR and the other
machines’ parameters to reduce the risk of a collision.

Restricted Zones
Restricted zones are areas of inadequate clearance which cannot be protected by the AMR detection
devices.
You may need to provide physical barriers that the AMR can detect accurately with its Safety Laser
Scanners so that it does not attempt to drive near these areas.
Only authorized persons are permitted to enter restricted zones.
You may need to implement map features such as Forbidden Areas to keep AMRs within their desig-
nated area of operation. Refer to the Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635)
for information about adding restricted zones to your workspace map.
WARNING
If the AMR operates in restricted zones, these areas must be properly marked or re-
stricted according to applicable standards.
Precautions for Correct Use
A physical barrier must be easily detectable by the AMR and also strong enough to stop a fully-
loaded AMR traveling at its maximum speed.
4-5-5
Operating Hazard Zones
Operating hazard zones are areas between the AMR and an obstacle that would not leave sufficient
room for a person to escape and avoid getting crushed. These are areas of inadequate clearance less
than 500 mm between the sides or front / rear of the AMR and an obstacle. It can also be an area
which cannot be protected by the AMR detection devices.
You must make these areas visually distinct. Personnel that will work near these zones must be
trained and informed about your chosen method used to make hazard zones visually distinct.
4-5-6
Payload Transfer Stations
Payload transfer stations are designated areas where the payload is transferred to or from the AMR.
When the payload transfer stations are outside the restricted zones, these stations shall be designed
to prevent personal injury by the rigid parts of the AMR or its payload. These payload transfer stations
shall be designated as operating hazard zones as defined in this section of the manual.
