Predictika · Entrance control: flap-leaf speed gate lanes, cabinets and site

An AI sales agent's speed gate configuration, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a flap-leaf speed gate: the number of lanes, the cabinets, the passage width, the reader type and the site it will be installed in. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published product data and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: SpeedStile FLs BA/EV speed gate configurations: lanes and cabinets, standard, wide and combi passages, reader type and passage rate, installation site and power supply. See everything this validator covers

This validator models configurations of one product line, the Gunnebo SpeedStile FLs BA/EV flap-leaf speed gate, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Lanes and cabinets — a lane needs one right and one left cabinet, and a gate with several lanes needs one or more centre or combi cabinets.
  • Passage and rate — the 600 mm standard, 900 mm wide and combi passages (wheelchair access needs the wide passage), and the approximate passage rate of 20, 30 or 40 passages per minute per lane for insertion, swipe or proximity readers, compared with what the site needs and what the quote states.
  • Site and supply — internal installation only, an operating temperature of 5 to 40 degrees C, and the 115 Vac 60 Hz supply that is available on demand, which goes to a person to confirm.

Any SpeedStile FLs BA/EV configuration that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Gunnebo does not publish list prices, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), cabinet lengths, glass heights and finishes, the other SpeedStile models and Gunnebo products, installation, and service contracts. Assumptions: the passage rates are the approximate figures in the product documents, and the required cabinet counts follow the statement that a lane needs a left and a right cabinet and that several lanes need centre or combi cabinets.

The AI sales agentBuilds the speed gate configuration from the conversation 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
Stated passage rate that must match the lanes and readersOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed rate, but the rate per reader type has to be looked up and kept in step with the documentation.		The stated rate travels with the configuration and is compared with the computed rate on every call.
A companion cabinet that a lane always needs: left and rightOnly with workarounds
The requirement is a count across several lines, so it needs a cross-line rule that has to cope with lines added in any order.		Every cabinet is in one request and the counts are checked together.
Several lanes needing centre or combi cabinetsOnly with workarounds
The rule depends on the lane count on one line and the cabinets on others, and a missing centre cabinet is usually caught only at the end or not at all.		Lane count and cabinets are in one request and checked together with the rest.
Site limits: indoor use and a temperature rangeOnly with care
Site conditions are usually free-text notes in a quote, so a range check needs its own validation rule and field.		Site conditions travel with the configuration and are checked 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
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 quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1A gate with 2 lanes needs one or more centre or combi cabinets; the quote has 0.
2A lane needs one right and one left cabinet; the quote has 0 left and 1 right.
3A lane needs one right and one left cabinet; the quote has 1 left and 0 right.
4Wheelchair access is provided by the 900 mm wide passage; the quote uses the 600 mm standard passage.
5The site needs 41 passages per minute; the quoted lanes give about 40 at this reader type.
6The site needs 91 passages per minute; the quoted lanes give about 90 at this reader type.
7The quote states 100 passages per minute; the quoted lanes and reader type give about 80.
8The SpeedStile FLs BA/EV gate is for internal installation (IP20 rating); the quote is for an outdoor site.
9The site temperature is 4 degrees C; the gate operates from 5 to 40 degrees C.
10The site temperature is 41 degrees C; the gate operates from 5 to 40 degrees C.
11A 115 Vac 60 Hz supply is available on demand; a person should confirm it with the manufacturer.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a flap-leaf speed gate: the number of lanes, the cabinets, the passage width, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published product 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 quote a Gunnebo SpeedStile FLs speed gate with two lanes and insertion readers, with 1 left, 1 right and 1 centre cabinet. The quote states 40 passages per minute 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 two findings, all in one answer. Wheelchair access is provided by the 900 mm wide passage; the quote uses the 600 mm standard passage. The SpeedStile FLs BA/EV gate is for internal installation (IP20 rating); the quote is for an outdoor site.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned two 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 stated passage rate that must match the lanes and readers, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the passage to Wide (900 mm), the installation to indoor and the power supply to 115 Vac 60 Hz.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
    12. 
      
  12. The two blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: supply voltage to confirm.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the power supply to 230 Vac 50 Hz.
    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. Two 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.
