An AI sales agent's MIXPAC C-System order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a two-component adhesive line: MIXPAC C-System cartridges (200 or 400 mL, in a given mixing ratio), the static mixers that go with them and a manual or battery dispenser, with the mixer elements and waste volume the customer asks for and the total mixer waste volume it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the compatibility tables in the public medmix MIXPAC brochure and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: MIXPAC C-System 200 and 400 mL cartridges (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1), MCH, MCHX, MCQ and MGQ static mixers, DM2X manual and DB2K battery dispensers. See everything this validator covers

This validator models an order built from the MIXPAC C-System in the public medmix brochure “MIXPAC Systems for Adhesives”, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Cartridges — the 27 C-System cartridge articles the brochure lists, 200 mL and 400 mL, in mixing ratios 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 (for example AC 400-02-10-04), each with the mixer series the brochure lists as its match.
  • Mixers — the 38 static mixer articles in the brochure's matching-mixer table, from the MCH and MCHX (Helix), MCQ and MGQ (QUADRO) series, each with its number of mixing elements and waste volume. The mixer series must be one the brochure lists for the chosen cartridge, which depends on its volume, ratio and, for 10:1 400 mL, its article.
  • Dispensers — the DM2X manual and DB2K battery 400 dispensers in the brochure's table, each covering the mixing ratios it lists; the battery dispenser is listed only for 400 mL cartridges.
  • Customer requirements and the stated total — a minimum number of mixing elements, a maximum waste volume in each mixer, and the total mixer waste volume the order states, which must equal the number of mixers times the waste volume of the chosen mixer.

Any order built from these C-System cartridges, mixers and dispensers is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: the 200 mL 4:1 cartridge (AC 200-04-10-04), because the brochure's cartridge matrix and mixer table disagree about which mixers fit it, prices (medmix publishes no list prices, so this page shows no price build-up), the A, B, F, K and Blueline systems, the DP2X pneumatic dispenser (its row in the brochure table could not be read unambiguously), the MGH mixer series (listed against cartridges but without articles in the mixer table), outlet tips and accessories, machine mixers, and whether an adhesive suits a given mixer.

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
Only the cartridge, mixer series and ratio combinations the brochure listsOnly with workarounds
Which mixer series fit depends on the cartridge volume, ratio and, for one 10:1 400 mL article, the article itself, so a rules-based CPQ needs a compatibility table or a rule per cartridge, and every brochure update means editing them.		Cartridge and mixer arrive in one request and are matched to the published rows on every call.
Dispenser that covers the ratio, and the battery dispenser only for 400 mLOnly with care
A dispenser model is tied to the ratios it covers and to the cartridge volume; it is two more table lookups that depend on the cartridge chosen earlier.		The dispenser, the ratio and the volume are compared together, in any order.
Mixer elements and waste volume against what the customer asks forOnly with care
The element count and waste volume belong to the mixer article, so a rule has to look them up before it can compare them with the customer's limits.		Both limits are compared with the chosen mixer's published values on every call.
Total waste volume the order statesOnly with care
The stated total is derived from the mixer article and the quantity, so a rule has to recompute it and compare.		The stated total is a field in the request, compared with the computed one 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 person 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.

    
1The selected mixer series is not listed as a match for this cartridge; the brochure lists the matching mixer series for each cartridge by volume and mixing ratio.
2The order needs at least 24 mixing elements; the selected mixer has 18.
3The selected dispenser does not cover the 1:1 mixing ratio of this cartridge.
4The selected dispenser does not cover the 2:1 mixing ratio of this cartridge.
5The battery dispenser is listed only for 400 mL cartridges; this cartridge holds 200 mL.

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 two-component adhesive line: MIXPAC C-System cartridges (200 or 400 mL, in a given mixing ratio), the static mixers that go with them and a manual or battery dispenser. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the compatibility tables in the public medmix MIXPAC brochure 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 1,500 MIXPAC C-System cartridges, AC 400-02-10-04 (400 mL, 2:1), with 1,800 MCQ 10-32T static mixers and the DB2K 400-01-500 battery dispenser. The mixers need at least 24 mixing elements and may hold no more than 20,000 microliters of waste volume each. The rest of the request is on screen. The order states 36,000,000 microliters of waste volume across all mixers in total.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The selected dispenser does not cover the 2:1 mixing ratio of this cartridge. The order states 36,000,000 microliters of waste volume across all mixers; the brochure values give 33,210,000.
    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 dispenser that covers the ratio, and the battery dispenser only for 400 mL, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the dispenser to DB2K 400-02-500 battery dispenser and the stated total mixer waste volume as to 33,210,000 microliters.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. Two 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.
    14.
