Predictika · EV charger orders

An AI sales agent's EV charger order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for Entity Pro wallboxes for a charging site. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Entity Pro installation brackets, charging units, front covers, mounts and installation limits as Garo documents them, and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: GARO Entity Pro wallboxes — single and double installation brackets, four charging units, eight front covers, mounts and installation limits. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the GARO Entity Pro parts listed below, not just the scenarios shown on this page.

  • Brackets and charging units — the single (354213) and double (354214) installation brackets, and the charging units 354208 (22 kW outlet), 354210 (22 kW outlet, visible MID meter), 354481 (22 kW, 5 m cable) and 354480 (13.9 kW, 20 A, 8 m cable); a single bracket takes one unit and a double bracket two.
  • Front covers and mounts — the plain fronts (354216 to 354219) for units with a built-in meter and the METER fronts (354220 to 354223) for the visible-meter unit; the pole mounts and single ground stand, which Garo lists for the single bracket, the double ground stand, which it lists for the double bracket, and the protection cover for a bracket without a charging unit.
  • Installation limits — the charging current set for each unit against its rating (up to 32 A, or up to 20 A for the 8 m cable unit), a pre-fuse of at most 80 A, a power cable of 2.5 to 16 square mm, and at most 32 units in one connection group.
  • Charging power — the total charging power stated on the order is compared with the sum of the ordered units; the 8 m cable unit goes to a person because Garo's manual notes that IEC 61851-1 allows a maximum of 7.5 m.

Any order for these parts that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (garo.se shows none for these items, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the 354265, 354453 and 354457 helix-cable units (the garo.se pages disagree on their rating and phases), the Entity Balance load interfaces, cable hooks, installation kits, dynamic load management settings, and Garo's other product ranges.

The AI sales agentBuilds the wallbox order from the site's requirements and says it is ready.
Predictika validatorChecks every rule at once and returns the verdict, each finding, and the computed figures.

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
A front cover that does not suit the charging unit's meterOnly with care
Eight front covers and four units make a compatibility table that someone must write as rules and keep in step with the product pages.		Each position's front is checked against its unit's meter type on every call.
A mount that Garo lists for the other bracketOnly with care
Accessory lists differ by bracket, so each mount needs its own rule per bracket.		The mount is checked against the bracket on every call.
Charging current, pre-fuse, cable size and group size beyond the limitsOnly with workarounds
These are installation settings, not catalog items; a product-and-price rule set usually has no fields for them, so they get added as custom fields and rules.		They are fields in the order, checked against the limits on every call.
A stated total charging power that does not match the unitsOnly with care
The stated total is a free-entry figure that someone has to compare with the sum of the unit ratings.		The power is computed from the units on every call and compared with the stated figure.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as a line is saved, 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
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The order has a charging unit with an 8 m fixed cable; the Garo manual notes that IEC 61851-1 allows a maximum of 7.5 m, so a person should confirm it for this installation.
2The single installation bracket (354213) takes one charging unit; the order puts a second charging unit on it.
3Front cover 354216 does not suit the first charging unit 354210: units with a visible MID meter take the METER fronts (354220 to 354223) and units with a built-in meter take the plain fronts (354216 to 354219).
4Front cover 354220 does not suit the first charging unit 354208: units with a visible MID meter take the METER fronts (354220 to 354223) and units with a built-in meter take the plain fronts (354216 to 354219).
5Front cover 354219 does not suit the second charging unit 354210: units with a visible MID meter take the METER fronts (354220 to 354223) and units with a built-in meter take the plain fronts (354216 to 354219).
6A charging unit has no front cover; Garo lists a complete Entity Pro wallbox as an installation bracket, a charging unit and a front.
7A front cover is ordered for a position that has no charging unit.
8Garo lists the pole mounts and the single ground stand among the accessories of the single installation bracket only; the double installation bracket (354214) lists neither.
9Garo lists the double ground stand (354227) among the accessories of the double installation bracket only.
10The protection cover is for a prepared installation without an attached charging unit; the order has a charging unit on this bracket.
11The first charging unit 354480 is rated for a charging current of up to 20 A and the order sets 32 A.
12The first charging unit 354480 is rated for a charging current of up to 20 A and the order sets 21 A.
13The first charging unit 354208 is rated for a charging current of up to 32 A and the order sets 33 A.
14The second charging unit 354480 is rated for a charging current of up to 20 A and the order sets 25 A.
15The order has a 81 A pre-fuse; the Garo manual gives a maximum pre-fuse to the terminal of 80 A, characteristic C.
16The power cable is 2.0 square mm; the connection terminal takes 2.5 to 16 square mm.
17The power cable is 16.5 square mm; the connection terminal takes 2.5 to 16 square mm.
18The order puts 34 charging units in one connection group; a connection group is limited to 32 units, so larger installations need subgroups.
19The order states 44 kW of charging power in total; the ordered charging units give 22 kW.
20The order states 22 kW of charging power in total; the ordered charging units give 13.9 kW.
21The first charging unit 354210 is rated for a charging current of up to 32 A and the order sets 40 A.
22The second charging unit 354208 is rated for a charging current of up to 32 A and the order sets 40 A.
23The order has a 100 A pre-fuse; the Garo manual gives a maximum pre-fuse to the terminal of 80 A, characteristic C.
24The power cable is 1.5 square mm; the connection terminal takes 2.5 to 16 square mm.
25The order puts 40 charging units in one connection group; a connection group is limited to 32 units, so larger installations need subgroups.
26The order states 1 W of charging power in total; the ordered charging units give 880 kW.
27Front cover 354221 does not suit the first charging unit 354480: units with a visible MID meter take the METER fronts (354220 to 354223) and units with a built-in meter take the plain fronts (354216 to 354219).

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 Entity Pro wallboxes for a charging site. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Entity Pro installation brackets, charging units, front covers, mounts and installation limits as Garo documents them, 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 10 Garo Entity Pro stations, each on a single (354213) installation bracket with one 354480 (13.9 kW, 8 m cable) and a grey front, mounted on the wall. Each unit is to be set to 32 A on a 100 A pre-fuse, with a 10 square mm power cable. The rest of the request is on screen. The order states 220 kW of charging power in total.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings and one approval, all in one answer. The first charging unit 354480 is rated for a charging current of up to 20 A and the order sets 32 A. The order has a 100 A pre-fuse; the Garo manual gives a maximum pre-fuse to the terminal of 80 A, characteristic C. The order states 220 kW of charging power in total; the ordered charging units give 139 kW.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings and one approval 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 order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for charging current, pre-fuse, cable size and group size beyond the limits, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the current set per unit to 20 A, the pre-fuse to 80 A and the stated charging power in total to 139 kW.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
    12. 
      
  12. The three blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: 8 m fixed cable to confirm.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the charging unit, first position to 354481 (22 kW, 5 m cable), the current set per unit to 32 A and the stated charging power in total to 220 kW.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the order.
    18. 
      
  18. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
