Abstract
A drying time prediction method includes: obtaining an operation condition set at the start of operation of a first dryer; obtaining the first actual operation time period of each of at least one first operation performed by the first dryer; obtaining operation finish time information from a learned model by inputting, to the learned model, the operation condition and first actual information that is based on the first actual operation time period, the operation finish time information being related to the finish time of the operation started under the operation condition; and outputting first information based on the operation finish time information.
Claims9
A drying time prediction method comprising:
- obtaining an operation condition set at start of an operation of a first dryer;
- obtaining a first actual operation time period of each of at least one first operation performed by the first dryer;
- obtaining operation finish time information from a learned model by inputting, to the learned model, the operation condition and first actual information that is based on the first actual operation time period, the operation finish time information being related to a finish time of the operation started under the operation condition;
- outputting first information based on the operation finish time information, wherein the first information indicates a remaining drying time period;
- obtaining, for each of the at least one first operation, a first actual operation condition set at start of the first operation, the first actual operation condition being associated with the first actual operation time period of the first operation;
- obtaining, for each of at least one second operation that has been performed by at least one second dryer, a second actual operation time period of the second operation and a second actual operation condition set at start of the second operation, the second actual operation condition being associated with the second actual operation time period of the second operation;
- calculating a standardized actual operation time period for each of at least one first actual operation time period obtained in the obtaining of the first actual operation time period, by standardizing each of the at least one first actual operation time period according to a distribution of at least one second actual operation time period associated with the second actual operation condition corresponding to the first actual operation condition associated with the first actual operation time period, the at least one second actual operation time period being included in at least one second actual operation time period of the at least one second operation;
- and
- calculating a mean value of the at least one standardized actual operation time period calculated for the at least one first actual operation time period,
- wherein the first actual information is based on the mean value.

A drying time prediction system comprising:
- a first memory;
- and
- a first processor coupled to the first memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining an operation condition set at start of an operation of a first dryer;
- obtaining a first actual operation time period of each of at least one first operation performed by the first dryer;
- obtaining operation finish time information output by a learned model in response to input of the operation condition and first actual information that is based on the first actual operation time period, the operation finish time information being related to a finish time of the operation started under the operation condition;
- outputting first information based on the operation finish time information, wherein the first information indicates a remaining drying time period;
- obtaining, for each of the at least one first operation, a first actual operation condition set at start of the first operation, the first actual operation condition being associated with the first actual operation time period of the first operation;
- obtaining, for each of at least one second operation that has been performed by at least one second dryer, a second actual operation time period of the second operation and a second actual operation condition set at start of the second operation, the second actual operation condition being associated with the second actual operation time period of the second operation;
- calculating a standardized actual operation time period for each of at least one first actual operation time period obtained in the obtaining of the first actual operation time period, by standardizing each of the at least one first actual operation time period according to a distribution of at least one second actual operation time period associated with the second actual operation condition corresponding to the first actual operation condition associated with the first actual operation time period, the at least one second actual operation time period being included in at least one second actual operation time period of the at least one second operation;
- and
- calculating a mean value of the at least one standardized actual operation time period calculated for the at least one first actual operation time period,
- wherein the first actual information is based on the mean value.
