An AI sales agent's 830 G configuration, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a material handler: the undercarriage, the boom, the pylon, the drive and the transport dimensions it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published brochure and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: SENNEBOGEN 830 G material handler (mobile and crawler): undercarriage, boom, pylon height, drive, and the published transport length and height. See everything this validator covers

This validator models one SENNEBOGEN 830 G configuration at a time, from the public 830 G brochure, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Undercarriage and boom — the six undercarriages in the brochure (MP30, MP41 and MP34 mobile; R35/340, T41/380 and R44/380 crawler) and the eight booms (K14, K14 ULM, K15, K17, B16, K17 Hybrid, K18 Hybrid, B17 Hybrid), with the grab stick the brochure pairs with each boom.
  • Pylon height — the brochure maximums: 1.5 m on the MP41, MP34 and T41/380 and 4.5 m on the special R44/380 crawler.
  • Published transport dimensions — transport length and height for every boom on the MP30, MP41, MP34, R35/340 and T41/380 from the brochure tables; the length and height the configuration states are compared with them. For the K17 Hybrid and K18 Hybrid on the two crawler undercarriages the published height is with the stick removed.
  • Drive — the electro-hydraulic drive is listed as available upon request, so a configuration with it goes to a person.

Any 830 G configuration that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other SENNEBOGEN machines, load ratings, operating weights, tires, cab elevation compatibility, attachment compatibility, and prices — SENNEBOGEN does not publish list prices, so this validator produces no price build-up. The R44/380 has no published transport table, so its stated transport figures are not checked. The brochure notes that equipment varies by country and that additional options are available upon request.

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 pylon limit that depends on the undercarriageOnly with care
A product rule per undercarriage with its own maximum; every new undercarriage adds another rule to keep in step with the brochure.		The pylon height and the undercarriage are in one request, and the limit is read from the published table.
Transport length and height that depend on both the boom and the undercarriageOnly with workarounds
A lookup of 40 undercarriage and boom combinations has to be kept in a table or in many rules, then compared with what the configuration states.		Every combination is in the model; the stated figures are compared on each call.
Stated figures that must match the published dimensionsOnly with care
The stated length and height are free text or manual fields; a comparison has to be built and kept current.		The stated figures travel with the configuration and are compared with the published ones.
An option that exists only upon requestOnly with care
Approval routing is a separate flow that has to be kept in step with the product rules.		The configuration comes back as needs approval with the reason, in the same answer as every other finding.

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 pylon is 2 m high; the brochure gives a maximum of 1.5 m for this undercarriage.
2The pylon is 1.6 m high; the brochure gives a maximum of 1.5 m for this undercarriage.
3The pylon is 5 m high; the brochure gives a maximum of 4.5 m for this undercarriage.
4The configuration states a transport length of 14 m; the brochure table gives 14.5 m for this undercarriage and boom.
5The configuration states a transport height of 3.25 m; the brochure table gives 3.75 m for this undercarriage and boom.
6The brochure lists the electro-hydraulic drive as available upon request; a person should confirm it with SENNEBOGEN.
7The pylon is 2.5 m high; the brochure gives a maximum of 1.5 m for this undercarriage.
8The configuration states a transport length of 14.5 m; the brochure table gives 14 m for this undercarriage and boom.

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 material handler: the undercarriage, the boom, the pylon, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published 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 configure a SENNEBOGEN 830 G on the MP41 mobile undercarriage with the K17 boom, diesel-hydraulic drive, the Maxcab with G280 elevation and an orange peel grab. Fit a 2 m pylon. The rest of the request is on screen. The configuration states a transport length of 14.5 m and a transport height of 3.49 m.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The pylon is 2 m high; the brochure gives a maximum of 1.5 m for this undercarriage.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned one blocking finding 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 a pylon limit that depends on the undercarriage, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the pylon height to 1.5.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. One problem 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.
