Predictika · Torit PowerCore CP series dust collectors

An AI sales agent's dust collector quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Torit PowerCore CP series dust collectors: a model, a quantity, the airflow each collector must handle, options and the filter area it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published CP series literature and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Torit PowerCore CP series (CPV bin vent and CPC stand-alone): rated airflow, options by family and filter area. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the Torit PowerCore CP series from the public Donaldson product literature, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Models — CPV-1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 bin vent collectors and CPC-3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 stand-alone collectors, each with the rated airflow range and filter pack count its specification table lists (63 sq ft of filter area per pack).
  • Options by family — explosion vents and sprinkler pack are listed for CPC models; outlet weatherhood and vertical orientation for CPV models; pyramid hopper, slide gate pack and leg extensions for CPC models; trough and dumpster hoppers from CPC-16 upward.
  • Stated figures — the total filter area stated on the quote is compared with the quoted collectors (collectors times filter area).

Any CP series quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the literature lists none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), CPC models above CPC-16, fan packages, controls and gauges, paint systems, filter media performance, and other Donaldson dust collector families.

The AI sales agentBuilds the collector quote from the plant requirements and says it is ready.

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
An airflow outside the model's rated rangeOnly with care
Each model has its own airflow window, so each needs its own rule, and a new model adds more rules to maintain.		The model sets its own window and the airflow per collector is compared with it on every call.
Options that only exist on one collector familyOnly with care
Safety, design and hopper options are tied to CPV or CPC models, so each option-to-family link is its own rule.		The model family and the chosen options are in one request and compared on every call.
Options available only from a given model sizeOnly with workarounds
A size threshold per option, usually a table or a rule per option that is maintained by hand.		The selected model and option are compared on every call, whatever order they were chosen in.
A stated filter area that disagrees with the collectorsOnly with workarounds
The figure the agent states is free text or a separate field, so it takes an extra rule that multiplies packs, area and quantity.		The stated figure is part of the request and is compared with the computed total on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote 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.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The required airflow is 701 cfm per collector; the selected model is rated for 0 to 700 cfm.
2The required airflow is 449 cfm per collector; the selected model is rated for 450 to 1,400 cfm.
3The required airflow is 8,201 cfm per collector; the selected model is rated for 4,200 to 8,200 cfm.
4The required airflow is 11,001 cfm per collector; the selected model is rated for 5,600 to 11,000 cfm.
5The required airflow is 699 cfm per collector; the selected model is rated for 700 to 2,000 cfm.
6Explosion vents are listed as a safety option for the CPC stand-alone models, not for the CPV bin vent models.
7The sprinkler pack is listed as a safety option for the CPC stand-alone models, not for the CPV bin vent models.
8The outlet weatherhood and vertical orientation are listed as design options for the CPV bin vent models, not for the CPC stand-alone models.
9Hopper, slide gate and leg extension options are listed for the CPC stand-alone models, not for the CPV bin vent models.
10The trough hopper with high inlet and the dumpster hopper are listed from CPC-16 upward; the selected model is smaller.
11The quote states 504 sq ft of filter area in total; the quoted collectors give 1,008 sq ft.
12The quote states 1,008 sq ft of filter area in total; the quoted collectors give 1,512 sq ft.
13The required airflow is 2,500 cfm per collector; the selected model is rated for 700 to 2,000 cfm.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Torit PowerCore CP series dust collectors: a model, a quantity, the airflow each collector must handle, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published CP series literature and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 2 PowerCore CPV-4 dust collectors with Ultra-Web (MERV 15) filter packs and explosion vents, each handling 2,000 cfm. The quote states 504 sq ft of filter area in total. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. Explosion vents are listed as a safety option for the CPC stand-alone models, not for the CPV bin vent models.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned one blocking finding 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. 
      
  7. What this shows: for options that only exist on one collector family, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the model to PowerCore CPC-4.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The earlier finding is cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. One problem 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.
