Predictika · Infusion pump fleet orders

An AI sales agent's infusion pump fleet order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a fleet of Agilia infusion pumps with their Link holders, stands, trolleys and drug library software. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the capacity and software-version rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Agilia pump fleet orders: pump models, Link and Link+ holders, stands, Duo couplings, trolleys and wireless drug library software versions. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Agilia infusion pump fleet orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Holders, stands and trolleys — Link holders take 4, 6 or 8 pumps; only Link+ holders carry the communication interfaces that network pumps need. An infusion stand takes up to 3 pumps, an Agilia Duo coupling powers 2 devices, a safety stand fixes one Link holder and a trolley takes 2 Link holders.
  • Pump models and wireless library — nine Agilia SP and VP pump models, four of them Wi-Fi models. Pumps that are to receive the drug library wirelessly must be Wi-Fi models.
  • Software versions and counts — wireless transfer needs Centerium 2.0 or above; Centerium, Vigilant Master Med and Vigilant Insight must be at least 1.0 and Agilia Partner at least 2.3, the lowest versions listed as compatible with Agilia Connect. The pump count the order states is compared with the quantities.

Any Agilia pump fleet order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Fresenius Kabi does not publish prices for these products, so this validator produces no price build-up), infusion set and drug compatibility, the Wi-Fi module version, other product lines, accessories and regional terms.

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
Holders, stands and trolleys that must be large enough for the pumps placed on themOnly with care
Each capacity is a calculation from the quantities (4, 6 or 8 per holder, 3 per stand, 2 per trolley) compared with the pumps placed on them; every mounting option needs its own rule.
Capacities are computed from the quantities on every call and compared with the plan, so a stand that is one pump short is found at once.
Network pumps that need the Link+ holder, not the plain LinkOnly with care
It depends on a count of pumps on one line against the holders on another, and a plain holder looks fine until the pumps are placed.
Every choice is in one request, so the pumps needing communication interfaces are compared with the Link+ capacity.
Wireless library transfer that needs Wi-Fi pumps and Centerium 2.0 or aboveOnly with workarounds
The rule joins the pump models with a software version, and the version is entered on a different step from the pumps.
Pump models and software versions arrive together, so both conditions are checked whichever order the choices were made in.
A pump count stated on the order that must match the quantitiesOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but someone has to write and maintain that comparison.
The stated figure travels with the order and is compared with the computed total 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.

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 a fleet of Agilia infusion pumps with their Link holders, stands, trolleys and drug library software. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the capacity and software-version rules 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 fleet of 9 x Agilia SP MC Wi-Fi, 9 x Agilia VP MC, with 1 x Agilia Link+ 4, 2 x Agilia Link+ 8. Planned placement: 18 on Link or Link+ holders. 18 pumps are to be networked, and 18 pumps are to receive the drug library wirelessly. 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. 18 pumps are to receive the drug library wirelessly, but only 9 pumps on the order are Wi-Fi models. Wireless drug library transfer needs Centerium 2.0 or above, and the order has Centerium 1.5. Agilia Partner 2.2 is below version 2.3, the lowest listed as compatible with Agilia Connect.
  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 wireless library transfer that needs Wi-Fi pumps and Centerium 2.0 or above, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It sets the Agilia VP MC Wi-Fi pumps to 9. It removes the Agilia VP MC pumps.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. Wireless drug library transfer needs Centerium 2.0 or above, and the order has Centerium 1.5. Agilia Partner 2.2 is below version 2.3, the lowest listed as compatible with Agilia Connect.
  12. One finding cleared; still blocked on wireless transfer needs Centerium 2.0 or above and Agilia Partner below 2.3.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the centerium version to 2.0 and the Agilia Partner version to 2.3.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared.
  18. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer.
