Predictika · Reachstacker model, load and attachment orders

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

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a reachstacker model for a terminal or yard, and states the lift capacity the machine will have for the load. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published model data and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Orders for the Eco Reachstacker DRG450E to DRG700E range (34 models): model, load, row, stacking, jacks, tilting spreader and stated lift capacity. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the Eco Reachstacker range, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Models and type of handling — 34 models of the DRG450E to DRG700E range: S (top lift) and C (combi lift) models for containers, A (tool carrier) and Z (lift hook) models for industrial loads; a container job on an industrial model, or the reverse, is caught.
  • Lift capacity — the lift capacity the brochure lists for each model in rows 1 to 5, with and without jacks where listed; a load heavier than the capacity in its row, a row the model has no rating for, jacks on a model with no jack rating, and a lift capacity stated on the order that differs from the figure the validator computes.
  • Stacking and spreader — how many containers high each model is rated to stack in each row for 8'6" and 9'6" containers; the tilting spreader for containerized bulk (32 tonnes in tilt mode, lengthways tilt for 20 ft containers only, container loads only).

Any order for these models that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the brochure lists none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the Gloria, Essential, Super Gloria and electric reachstackers, empty container handlers, terminal tractors and straddle carriers, the model printed as 655XE in the brochure (ambiguous), engines and emission options, cabin and safety options, service contracts, dimensions and speeds, and other Kalmar documents or regions.

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
Lift capacity that depends on the model and on the row the load sits inOnly with workarounds
Each model has a different capacity in each row, with and without jacks. A rules-based setup needs a lookup table per model and row, and a row the model is not rated for passes unless a rule is written for it.		The model, row and load are in one request and the capacity is computed on every call and compared with the load.
Stack height that depends on model, row and container heightOnly with workarounds
Rated stack height changes by model, by row and by 8'6" or 9'6" containers, so the rule is a table, and a new model is another set of rows to maintain.		Stack height is computed from the model, row and container height together and compared with the order.
A spreader option with its own limitsOnly with care
The tilting spreader has a lower weight limit, a lengthways tilt that is for 20 ft containers only, and is for container loads. Each limit is another rule that someone has to remember to add.		Spreader, container length, load and type of job are in one request, so every limit is checked together.
A lift capacity the rep states on the orderOnly with workarounds
The capacity on the order is a free-entry figure; nothing compares it with the model data unless a rule is added for it.		The stated capacity is a field in the request and is compared with the figure the validator computes.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as 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.

    
1The selected model does not handle this kind of load; S (top lift) and C (combi lift) models are for containers, A (tool carrier) and Z (lift hook) models are for industrial loads.
2The load of 40 tonnes in row 2 is more than the 39 tonne lift capacity of the selected model in that row.

6The load of 40 tonnes in row 2 is more than the 38 tonne lift capacity of the selected model in that row.
7The order states a lift capacity of 41 tonnes in row 2, but the selected model is rated at 38 tonnes in that row.
8Stacking 6 containers high in row 2 is more than the 5 high the selected model is rated for in that row.
9Stacking 6 containers high in row 1 is more than the 5 high the selected model is rated for in that row.

11With a tilting spreader the brochure gives 32 tonnes in tilt mode and the load is 33 tonnes.

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 reachstacker model for a terminal or yard, and states the lift capacity the machine will have for the load. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published model 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 DRG450-65S5E Eco Reachstacker for container handling. It will lift a load of 36 tonnes in row 2, with 9′6″ high cube containers stacked 5 high. 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 load of 36 tonnes in row 2 is more than the 32 tonne lift capacity of the selected model in that row. Stacking 5 containers high in row 2 is more than the 4 high the selected model is rated for in that row. The order states a lift capacity of 38 tonnes in row 2, but the selected model is rated at 32 tonnes in that row.
    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 lift capacity that depends on the model and on the row the load sits in, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the reachstacker model to DRG450-65S6HXE and the stated lift capacity to 39 tonnes.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    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. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
