An AI sales agent's three-phase motor quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a W22 IE3 three-phase motor: rated output, number of poles, frame size, full-load current, and the ambient temperature and altitude of the site. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published catalog tables and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: WEG W22 IE3 Premium Efficiency three-phase motors, 50 Hz, 400 V: rated output and poles, frame size, full-load current, ambient and altitude derating. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the W22 IE3 Premium Efficiency line in the 50 Hz, 400 V catalog tables, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Ratings — 2, 4, 6 and 8 poles, from 0.12 kW up to 450 kW (2 poles), 500 kW (4 poles), 400 kW (6 poles) and 280 kW (8 poles), each with the standard IEC frame size and the full-load current at 400 V listed in the catalog. An output and pole count that the table does not list is blocked.
  • Frame size and current — the frame size and full-load current on the quote are compared with the catalog. A frame size that appears only in the catalog's optional-frame tables needs a person to approve it; any other frame size is blocked.
  • Derating — the planned load is compared with the rated output multiplied by the catalog correction factor for the site's ambient temperature (10 to 80 C) and altitude (1,000 to 5,000 m); a site that is not a point in that table is blocked.

Any quote for these motors that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the catalog has no price list, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the IE1, IE2 and IE4 lines, 60 Hz and other voltages, variable-speed drive operation, options and accessories, and the ratings of optional frames, which are flagged for a person to confirm.

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 rated output and pole count the catalog does not listOnly with care
Every listed rating must be a product choice; anything off the list is only caught if someone keeps the product rules in step with the catalog.
The listed ratings are part of the model; an unlisted output and pole count is blocked on every call.
Frame size and full-load current that do not match the catalog ratingOnly with workarounds
Roughly 155 ratings each carry a frame size and a current. A lookup table plus validation rules can compare them, but someone has to build and maintain all of it.
Frame size and current travel with the quote and are compared with the catalog row on every call.
A load that exceeds the derated output at the site's ambient temperature and altitudeOnly with workarounds
The correction factor depends on two inputs at once, 135 table points. It takes a two-way lookup table and custom calculation rules.
The correction table is part of the model; the planned load is compared with the derated output on every call.
An optional frame that needs approval rather than a blockOnly with care
Three outcomes (standard, optional, not listed) per rating means separate rules and an approval step for each case.
Standard, optional and unlisted frames are told apart on every call, and optional frames go to a person.
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.

1No W22 IE3 motor with this rated output and number of poles is listed in the 50 Hz, 400 V catalog table.
2The quote lists frame size 250S/M, which the catalog shows only as an optional frame for this output and number of poles; a person must confirm the optional-frame data.
3The quote lists frame size 63, which is neither the standard frame nor a listed optional frame for this output and number of poles.
4The quote states a full-load current of 130 A at 400 V, but the catalog lists 134 A for this motor.
5The planned load is 80,000 W, but at this ambient temperature and altitude the catalog allows at most 75,000 W from this motor.
6The planned load is 71,251 W, but at this ambient temperature and altitude the catalog allows at most 71,250 W from this motor.
7The planned load is 62,300 W, but at this ambient temperature and altitude the catalog allows at most 62,250 W from this motor.
8The ambient temperature and altitude on the quote are not a point in the catalog derating table (ambient 10 to 80 C in 5 C steps, altitude 1,000 to 5,000 m in 500 m steps; up to 1,000 m counts as 1,000 m).
9The quote states a full-load current of 700 A at 400 V, but the catalog lists 762 A for this motor.
10The planned load is 380,000 W, but at this ambient temperature and altitude the catalog allows at most 300,000 W from this motor.
11The quote lists frame size 355M/L, which the catalog shows only as an optional frame for this output and number of poles; a person must confirm the optional-frame data.
12The quote lists frame size 355M/L, which is neither the standard frame nor a listed optional frame for this output and number of poles.

Scenarios and results

Narration transcript

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 W22 IE3 three-phase motor: rated output, number of poles, frame size, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published catalog tables and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote one WEG W22 IE3 motor: 132 kW, 4 poles, frame size 280S/M, 50 Hz, 400 V. The quote states a full-load current of 220 A and a planned load of 132 kW, for a site at 45 C and 1,000 m altitude. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The quote lists frame size 280S/M, which is neither the standard frame nor a listed optional frame for this output and number of poles. The planned load is 132,000 W, but at this ambient temperature and altitude the catalog allows at most 125,400 W from this motor.
  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. What this shows: for frame size and full-load current that do not match the catalog rating, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the frame size on the quote to 315S/M, the full-load current on the quote at 400 V to 231 A and the planned load to 125.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
  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.
