Predictika · Pharmaceutical inspection equipment configuration checks

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

An AI sales agent assembles an automatic visual inspection machine order for a pharmaceutical filler: the machine, the container and its size, the product, the line speed and the inspections wanted. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product specifications and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Automatic visual inspection machines (Easy 400, Plus 200, Plus 400, Plus SY, Plus LVP, Plus Microvials): containers, sizes, products, speed, inspections and options. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the public specifications of six automatic visual inspection machine lines, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Containers and sizes — ampoules, vials and cartridges on the Easy 400 (under 30 mm), Plus 200 and Plus 400 (under 52 mm); plastic syringes up to 20 mL on the Plus SY; LVP bottles from 42 mm (50 ml) to 78 mm (1000 ml) on the Plus LVP; microvials on the Plus Microvials.
  • Products and speed — the product types each machine inspects (water-like, viscous, suspension, lyophilized, fat emulsion) and the published top speed: 12,000 units per hour on the Plus 200, 24,000 on the Easy 400, Plus 400 and Plus SY, and 18,000 on the Plus LVP and Plus Microvials. The total capacity stated on the order is compared with the machines quoted.
  • Inspections and options — which inspections each machine lists (particle, tip and cap, lyophilized cake, aluminum seal, cartridge plunger, color ring, flange and rod, deformed bottle, cap closure, stopper), the LKD leak detection models and their limits, and heated gas analysis, which is available upon request.

Any order for these six machine lines that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (none are public, so no price build-up or line-item quote is produced), the CVT series and semi-automatic equipment, services and spare parts. Assumptions: published diameter limits of under 30 mm and under 52 mm are read as 29 and 51 whole millimeters; the published speeds are maximums; the Easy 400 page lists light suspensions and lyophilized product for small diameters without a figure, so those go to a person rather than being blocked.

The AI sales agentBuilds the order from the conversation and says it is ready.
Predictika validatorChecks every rule at once and returns the verdict, each finding, and the computed figures.

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
Inspections that exist on one machine only, such as color ring or cartridge plungerOnly with care
Each inspection has to be tied to the machines that list it, and the table kept in step as the lines change.		The machine and every inspection requested are in one request and compared together on every call.
Container size limits that differ by machine (under 30 mm, under 52 mm, 42 to 78 mm)Only with care
A size rule per machine family, with an upper bound for some machines and an upper and lower bound for another.		The machine and the size are in one request, and every limit is checked on every call.
A stated total capacity that disagrees with the machines quotedOnly with workarounds
The total comes from machines multiplied by the published speed; checking a stated figure against it takes extra formulas.		The stated figure is one more field in the request and is compared with the computed total on every call.
An option that needs a specific model, such as leak detection on an LKD modelEasy
A compatibility rule between the option and the model; routine in a product-rules CPQ.		The same rule, checked together with all the others 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 rep 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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent assembles an automatic visual inspection machine order for a pharmaceutical filler: the machine, the container and its size, the product, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product specifications 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 prepare an order for 2 Plus SY inspection machines to inspect plastic syringes, filled with a suspension, with a container diameter of 25 mm and a syringe volume of 25 mL. The line runs at 40,000 units per hour, and the machines should do particle inspection, flange and rod inspection and integrated leak detection. The rest of the request is on screen. The order states 48,000 units per hour of total capacity.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The syringe holds 25 mL; the Plus SY handles syringes up to 20 mL. This product type is not in the published list of products the quoted machine inspects. Integrated leak detection is available only on the LKD model; the quote does not use the LKD model.
    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 an option that needs a specific model, such as leak detection on an LKD model, a rules-based CPQ is easy.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the product to viscous product and the syringe volume to 20 mL. It removes the integrated leak detection.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
    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.
