An AI sales agent's washer-disinfector order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a Belimed WD 200, WD 250 or WD 290 cabinet washer-disinfector from the public brochure: the model, door type, options, detergent dosing units and what goes into each cycle. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the brochure's published figures and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Belimed WD 200, WD 250 and WD 290 washer-disinfectors: model and door type, options, detergent dosing units and cycle load capacity. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the three cabinet washer-disinfectors in the public Belimed WD 200 / WD 250 / WD 290 brochure (technical data table), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Model and door — the WD 200, WD 250 or WD 290, with the single-door version listed for the WD 200 only and the two-door pass-through machine on all three.
  • Options by model — steam heating of the chamber tank, the switch between electric and steam heating, the steam heated drying unit, wash arm rotation control, RFID data storage, automatic rack transport, automatic loading and unloading units for 1 or 2 racks, the WA 240 automated system and the ICS 8535 PC cycle documentation, each checked against the models it is listed for.
  • Detergent dosing units — the standard units of each model (2 on the WD 200, 3 on the WD 250 and WD 290) plus 0 to 2 optional units.
  • Cycle load — DIN trays (12, 10 and 18), sterile goods containers (4 and 5) and anaesthesia material sets (5 and 7) per cycle, the DIN tray capacity stated on the order, and the cases the brochure leaves open, which go to a person.

Any order for these three machines is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Belimed publishes none, so this validator produces no price build-up), other Belimed machines such as the WD 350 and WD 390, sterilizers, racks and accessories, utilities and installation, and regional versions of the WD 290 described in other Belimed documents with different figures. Assumptions: the brochure gives each load type's capacity on its own, so a mixed load goes to a person; the brochure gives no container or anaesthesia capacity for the WD 200, so such a load goes to a person; and the heating switch is treated as needing the steam heating option because it switches between electric and steam heating.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Options that exist only on some modelsOnly with care
A compatibility matrix of nine options across three models to keep in step with the brochure.
Each option is checked against the chosen model on every call.
Capacity per load type and modelOnly with care
Three capacity lookups per model, one of them with no published figure for two load types.
The capacity of the chosen model is looked up on every call and returned with the verdict.
An option that needs another optionOnly with workarounds
A dependency rule written and maintained by hand: the heating switch needs the steam heating option.
The dependency is checked with every other rule, in whatever order the choices arrive.
A load with no published capacityOnly with workarounds
Rules know pass or fail; a case where the brochure is silent has to be built as a special rule.
It goes to a person as needs approval, neither passed nor blocked.
A stated capacity that disagrees with the brochureOnly with workarounds
The figure the agent states is a separate field and needs an extra rule that compares it with the brochure value.
The stated capacity is part of the request and is compared with the brochure figure on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.
All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

The recorded result of the validator for each scenario on this page: the request the AI agent sent, the verdict, and every finding, in the order they appear above.

1. Cycle load: A district hospital sterile department order for a WD 250 with more DIN trays than the chamber takes

The agent's request. Please quote a Belimed WD 250 washer-disinfector as a two-door pass-through machine, with steam heating of the chamber tank, automatic rack transport and 1 optional detergent dosing unit. Each cycle will carry 12 DIN trays. The order states a capacity of 10 DIN trays per cycle. It is ready to send.

Verdict: Blocked.

  • Too many DIN trays for the chamber. 12 DIN trays in one cycle is over the 10 DIN trays the WD 250 takes.

2. Cycle load: The agent resubmits after fixing the errors

The agent's request. Please quote a Belimed WD 250 washer-disinfector as a two-door pass-through machine, with steam heating of the chamber tank, automatic rack transport and 1 optional detergent dosing unit. Each cycle will carry 10 DIN trays. The order states a capacity of 10 DIN trays per cycle. It is ready to send.

Verdict: Allowed.

  • Order summary. WD 250: 10 DIN trays per cycle; 4 detergent dosing units in total (3 standard plus 1 optional); wash pump 900 l/min.

3. Heating and mixed loads: A teaching hospital order for a WD 290 with a heating switch but no steam heating, and a mixed load

The agent's request. Please quote a Belimed WD 290 washer-disinfector as a two-door pass-through machine, with a switch between electric and steam heating, the ICS 8535 PC cycle documentation system and 2 optional detergent dosing units.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a Belimed WD 200, WD 250 or WD 290 cabinet washer-disinfector from the public brochure: the model, door type, options, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the brochure's published figures and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Belimed WD 200 washer-disinfector as a single-door machine, with a steam heated drying unit, wash arm rotation control. Each cycle will carry 12 DIN trays. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The steam heated drying unit is listed as an option for the WD 250 and WD 290, not for the WD 200. Wash arm rotation control is listed as an option for the WD 290 only, not for the WD 200. Automatic loading and unloading units are listed as an option for the WD 290 only, not for the WD 200.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for an option that needs another option, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It removes the steam heated drying unit, wash arm rotation control, automatic loading and unloading units and racks for loading and unloading units.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
