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

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an automatic sliding door: the number of leaves, the opening width, the weight of each leaf, the leaf type, and the elbow switch, programme switch, detector and remote control around it. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the limits and part variants GEZE publishes for the Slimdrive SL NT and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Slimdrive SL NT automatic sliding doors: opening width and leaf weight limits, leaf types, and the listed elbow switches, programme switches, detectors and remote controls. See everything this validator covers

This validator models a Slimdrive SL NT door order based on the limits and accessory tables in the public GEZE product data sheet, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Opening and leaves — a single-leaf opening must be 700 to 3000 mm wide and a double-leaf opening 900 to 3000 mm, each leaf may weigh up to 125 kg, and the leaf must be one of the types the data sheet lists (fine-framed ISO glass, fine-framed MONO glass, all-glass systems or an on-site wooden leaf). The total leaf weight the quote states must equal the leaves.
  • Elbow switches — the EFT, KFT and LS 990 elbow switches exist only in the colours and types of installation the data sheet lists (for example the EFT only in stainless steel for surface mounting), and each has its own IP rating (EFT IP65, LS 990 IP30, KFT IP20) to compare with what the quote needs.
  • Programme switches, detectors and remote controls — key operation of the mode switch needs a key version (DPS with SCT key switch, MPS ST or TPS with SCT key switch), the GC 339+ and GC 363+ detectors come in black or RAL colours while the GC 365 and GC 341 are listed in black only, and the WTH remote controls have 1, 2 or 4 channels.
  • Approvals — the data sheet marks some products (including the EFT elbow switch and the detectors) as varying by country in form, type, characteristics, function or availability, so a person confirms them with the GEZE contact.

Any Slimdrive SL NT order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (GEZE does not publish list prices, so this page shows no price build-up), other GEZE drives and door systems, other accessories in the data sheet, locks, door height and glass thickness, and installation or service.

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
Opening width limits that depend on one or two leavesOnly with care
The allowed range depends on the number of leaves, so a rules-based CPQ needs a rule for each case and the weight limit as a third rule.		The leaves, width and weight arrive in one request and each limit is checked on every call.
Accessory variants that exist only in some colour and installation combinationsOnly with workarounds
The elbow switches and detectors come in specific type, colour and installation combinations, so a CPQ needs a compatibility table or one rule per part, edited again whenever the data sheet changes.		The part variants are a table inside the model, and a combination the data sheet does not list is found on every call.
Requirements compared with a device propertyOnly with care
IP rating, key operation and remote channels are each a requirement on one line compared with a property of another line, a cross-line rule for each.		The requirement and the property are compared together with all other checks.
Products marked as varying by countryOnly with care
A flag per product and a rule to raise an approval when any flagged product is chosen.		The flagged products are counted and sent to a person 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 person 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.

    
1A single-leaf Slimdrive SL NT opening of 699 mm is outside the 700 to 3,000 mm range in the data sheet.
2A single-leaf Slimdrive SL NT opening of 3,001 mm is outside the 700 to 3,000 mm range in the data sheet.

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 number of leaves, the opening width, the weight of each leaf, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the limits and part variants GEZE publishes for the Slimdrive SL NT 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 a double-leaf Slimdrive SL NT sliding door for an opening of 2,400 mm, with fine-framed ISO glass leaves of 110 kg each. The quote states 220 kg of door leaf weight 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 three findings, all in one answer. The data sheet lists no elbow switch of the selected model in the selected colour and type of installation. The quote needs an elbow switch of IP30 or better; the selected model is rated IP20. The quote needs key operation of the mode switch, but the selected programme switch is not a key version.
    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 accessory variants that exist only in some colour and installation combinations, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the elbow switch to LS 990.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The quote needs key operation of the mode switch, but the selected programme switch is not a key version.
    12. 
      
  12. Two findings cleared. Still blocking: key operation needed but the programme switch has no key.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the programme switch to MPS ST mechanical programme switch with key.
    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 quote.
    18. 
      
  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. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
