Predictika · Automatic door orders

An AI sales agent's sliding door operator order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an automatic sliding door: the operator, the door type, the clear opening, the panel weight, the speeds, the hold-open time and the light barriers. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published technical data and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: dormakaba ES 200 and ES 200 Easy sliding door operator orders, single and double panel: opening width and height, panel weight, speeds, hold-open time and light barriers. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the dormakaba ES 200 and ES 200 Easy automatic sliding door operators as published in their technical data (read October 2026), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Operators and door types — ES 200 and ES 200 Easy, each for a single-panel or a double-panel door.
  • Opening and panel limits — clear passage width of 700 to 3000 mm for a single panel and 800 to 3000 mm for a double panel; clear passage height of 2100 to 3200 mm (other heights only on request); maximum panel weight of 200 kg (single) or 2 x 160 kg (double) for the ES 200 and 120 kg (single) or 2 x 100 kg (double) for the ES 200 Easy.
  • Settings and accessories — opening speed 10 to 70 cm/s (ES 200) or 10 to 50 cm/s (Easy); closing speed 10 to 50 cm/s (ES 200) or 10 to 40 cm/s (Easy); hold-open time up to 180 seconds (ES 200) or 0.5 to 30 seconds (Easy); at most 2 pairs of light barriers on the Easy.

Any ES 200 or ES 200 Easy order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (no public price list was used, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the ES 200-2D escape-route version and the telescopic ES 200 T, other dormakaba operators, glazing, profile systems, locking devices, sensors and installation. The requirement to confirm unusual heights with the manufacturer is modeled as an approval, not a blocking rule.

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
Weight limits that depend on both operator and door typeOnly with care
Four combinations of operator and door type each have their own limit; a rule per combination works, but each new operator multiplies them.		The limit is looked up from the operator and the door type and compared with the panel weight on every call.
Settings ranges that differ by operatorOnly with care
Speed and hold-open ranges differ between the two operators, so a rule per range and operator is needed and must be kept in step with the data sheets.		Each range is looked up from the chosen operator and checked with the others in the same pass.
An option limited to one operatorOnly with workarounds
The light-barrier limit applies to one operator only, so it needs a conditional rule that is easy to miss when a quote is edited.		The limit applies whenever that operator is chosen, whatever order the choices arrive in.
A size that is possible only on requestOnly with workarounds
A hard limit blocks it outright, or no rule exists and nobody is warned; routing it to a person needs an extra approval rule.		The unusual height does not block the order; it returns an approval finding for a person to confirm with the manufacturer.
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.

  

  

    
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.

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 an automatic sliding door: the operator, the door type, the clear opening, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published technical data 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 order a double-panel door. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. A clear passage width of 3,200 mm is outside the 800 to 3,000 mm range for this door type. Each panel weighs 130 kg; this operator carries at most 100 kg per panel on this door type. An opening speed of 60 cm/s is outside the 10 to 50 cm/s range of this operator.
    6. 
      
  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. 
      
  7. What this shows: for settings ranges that differ by operator, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the operator to ES 200 and the clear passage width to 3,000 mm.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  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.
    14.
