Predictika · Aluminium window system orders

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

An AI sales agent prepares an order of aluminium windows for a fabricator: which window series, the opening type, the fittings, the burglar resistance class, how the window is used and the thermal and sound figures the customer asks for. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published Schuco AWS series overview and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Schuco AWS aluminium window series (AWS 90, 75, 65 and 60 families): opening types, AvanTec and TipTronic fittings, burglar resistance, use, design options, passive house, Uf and Rw. See everything this validator covers

This validator models an order of Schuco aluminium windows from the 12 series in the published Schuco AWS overview table, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Series and figures — AWS 90 BS.SI+, AWS 90.SI+, AWS 75 .SI, AWS 75 BS.SI, AWS 75 WF.SI, AWS 75 BS.HI, AWS 65, AWS 65 BS, AWS 65 WF, AWS 60, AWS 60.HI and AWS 60 BS, each with its listed basic depth, best Uf value and sound insulation index; a required Uf or sound insulation the series cannot reach is blocked, as is a stated basic depth that does not match.
  • Opening types and use — double vent, tilt/slide, outward-opening and side-hung/top-hung vents; use as a facade insert unit, window facade, floating window or with the Schuco ADS door system; Residential Line, Soft Line and Multi Contour design options; suitability for passive houses.
  • Fittings and security — AvanTec and TipTronic concealed fittings, WK1, RC2 and RC3 burglar resistance by fitting and series, TipTronic outward opening, group control and automatic night-time cooling. TipTronic with a double vent or tilt/slide vent is not in the table and needs a person to confirm it with Schuco.

Any order of these 12 series that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the Schuco documents read list none, so this page shows no price build-up), other Schuco systems (doors, facades, sliding systems, the AWS 75 PD.SI and AWS 90 variants not in the overview), glass, sizes and weights, finishes, and fabrication or installation.

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
Features that exist only for some seriesOnly with workarounds
Each of 12 series has its own set of opening types, fittings, security classes and uses. A rules-based CPQ needs a table or a rule per series and every catalog update means editing them.		The series and the options arrive in one request and are compared with that series' listed features on every call.
Limits that depend on two choices togetherOnly with care
Security class depends on the fitting and the series together (for example RC3 is listed for AvanTec fittings only), so a rule must read three fields at once.		Series, fitting and class are checked together on every call.
Targets the series cannot reachOnly with care
A required Uf or sound insulation is a free-entry figure; a rule can compare it with the series value only if that value is looked up first.		The series figures are computed and compared with the target on every call.
Options that need a person to confirmOnly with care
Combinations the table does not list need a human decision, and a rules engine must route them by hand.		Unlisted combinations come back as a needs-approval finding that names the question for Schuco.
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.

  

  

    
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 an order of aluminium windows for a fabricator: which window series, the opening type, the fittings, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published Schuco AWS series overview 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 place an order of Schüco AWS 60 BS aluminium windows for Northfield Glazing, for 30 windows, turn/tilt, with TipTronic fittings. The order states a basic depth of 60 mm. 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. Schüco TipTronic fittings are not listed for the AWS 60 BS series. A required Uf of 1.7 W/(m²K) is lower than the best Uf of 2.1 W/(m²K) listed for the chosen series.
    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 features that exist only for some series, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the fittings to AvanTec.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. A required Uf of 1.7 W/(m²K) is lower than the best Uf of 2.1 W/(m²K) listed for the chosen series.
    12. 
      
  12. One finding cleared. Still blocking: required Uf better than the series offers.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the window series to Schüco AWS 60.HI.
    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.
    19.
