Predictika · Pressure transducer quotes

An AI sales agent's pressure transducer quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a PX309-series pressure transducer: a connector style, a pressure type and range, an output signal, the supply voltage, a mating cable or connector, an optional panel meter and a burst pressure for the quote. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the datasheet's ordering rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Quotes for the PX309 (cable), PX319 (mini DIN), PX329 (twist-lock) and PX359 (M12) series: pressure type and range, output, supply, mating part, meter, error band and burst pressure. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for these transducers, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Models and ranges — the four connector styles with absolute, gage, vacuum, compound and vacuum/gage types; each type offers its own list of ranges, and a range outside that list is blocked.
  • Output and supply — the 100 mV output is excited at 2 to 10 Vdc (1 to 5 Vdc for ranges of 100 psi and above); the 0-5 V, 0-10 V and 4-20 mA outputs need a 9 to 30 Vdc supply.
  • Mating parts and meters — the cable or connector must fit the connector style; gage units up to 500 psi are vented and need the vented mate or cable; the strain meter is for 100 mV models and the process meter for amplified models.
  • Error band and burst pressure — the total error band is computed for the range and compared with the accuracy required; the burst rating is computed from the range and compared with the figure the quote states.

Any quote built from these models that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the datasheet lists none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other Omega series, options not on the datasheet, the exact 100 mV output value at each range, and custom or OEM configurations.

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 range list that depends on the pressure typeOnly with care
Each pressure type has its own list of ranges; a dropdown per type is workable but every new range means editing the lists.		The type and range are checked together on every call, whichever order they were chosen in.
A supply voltage that depends on output and rangeOnly with workarounds
The allowed excitation changes with the output signal and, for 100 mV models, with the range band; it ends up as several cross-field rules that interact.		Output, range and supply are in one request and the allowed window is computed on each call.
Vented versus sealed mates that depend on type, range and connectorOnly with workarounds
A mating part is right or wrong depending on the connector style, the pressure type and a 500 psi threshold at once.		The connector, type, range and mating part are checked together and each wrong pairing is reported.
A burst pressure that follows from the rangeOnly with care
A multiplier that changes by class, with a floor; the figure on the quote has to be compared by hand.		The burst rating is computed from the range and compared with the figure the quote states.
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

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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a PX309-series pressure transducer: a connector style, a pressure type and range, an output signal, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the datasheet's ordering rules 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 PX329 (twist-lock) transducer, gage, 300 psi range, 4-20 mA output, 36 Vdc supply, with the sealed mate PT06F10-6S-R and the DP8PT meter. The quote states a burst pressure of 1200 psi, and the customer requires a total error band of no more than 1.0 percent. 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 amplified outputs, such as the 0-5 V and 0-10 V, need a 9 to 30 Vdc supply; the quote has 36 Vdc. Gage PX329 units up to 500 psi must be vented and use the vented mate PT06V-10-6S-R; the sealed mate PT06F10-6S-R is on the quote. The quote states a burst pressure of 1,200 psi, but the datasheet burst rating for this range works out to 1,500 psi.
    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 vented versus sealed mates that depend on type, range and connector, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the supply to 24 Vdc, the mating part to PT06V-10-6S-R (vented) and the stated burst pressure to 1,500 psi.
    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.
    14.
