Create Zones

Zones represent sectioned area(s) within your site where specific functions take place.  This can include areas where your assets dump material, pick up material, etc. 

Use zones to improve logic. With Create Zones, you can draw and mark out different zones for a site in map view.The zones available are:

  • Cut/Load

  • Fill/Dump

  • Stockpile

  • Exemption

  • Site Boundary


Refer to Types of Zones for more information on the functionality of each zone type.

Also, identify the number of events that occurred in each zones, and when events (cut/fill, idle time,) are tied to the created zones. You can view zone information on Site Summary Fleet View, map view and on Insights Map.

Use these zones to help you create of cycles based on load and dump events and improve overall accuracy of the asset's performance.


Here, you can only create zones for load and dump events of Advanced Productivity- and Load-and Cycle-subscribed assets.

To create zones for your site:

  1. In Draw Zone, click drop down  and select the zone type.

    • • Zone names are case-insensitive and allows for spaces. If any of the required criteria is not met while entering the zone name, then it will be highlighted in red.
      • When adding zone values, use different symbols other than a hyphen (_ & *) or add text to the numbers (eg. Area3-7, Dump4-5). Otherwise, while downloading the data as a.csv file, hyphenated numbers (eg. 3-7, 4-5, etc.) show up in a date format (3-7 becomes July 3).
