To ensure that devices do not move through walls and other stationary objects in the Digital Twin app, it is essential to properly configure barriers or digital walls. When set up correctly, this configuration allows for realistic movement patterns of forklifts and employees, navigating around racks and machines rather than passing through them 😄
Before setting barriers, please, check if you have a correct layout dimensions set in the Sectors
How to create barriers?
Follow these steps:
Navigate to the Places → Barriers,
you should see the layout of your factory. If the error occurred, please check if you have the layout imported on the Sectors page.
3. Allow editing by unlocking the lock located at the top left,
4. change the ‘Barrier size’ as you need. It is better to use a smaller barrier size.
In my case, I have to make my barriers 0.3 in size, otherwise, it would be impossible to set barriers only to the layout walls.
To mark barriers, press the left mouse button and drag. When the mouse button is released, the barriers will be marked. At the bottom of the page is a quick overview how to use barriers controls.
5. Don’t forget to save your changes, the save button is at the top. Saved barriers will turn red.
