[0029] Step 2: Input historical equipment parameters into the machine learning model for training and optimization, until the model accuracy reaches over 95%, and then output the optimized model. The machine learning model uses the XGboost regression model, and the historical equipment parameters are divided into a training set and a validation set. The model training process uses the training set for training and the validation set for accuracy verification. The independent variables are the equipment parameters during the historical seeding stage, and the dependent variables are the seeding power and seeding pot position during the historical seeding stage.

[0037] 2 and 3 , the parameter change trends displayed on the system interface include table form and trend graph form.
[0038] Figure 2 illustrates the parameter change trends in tabular form. The [Batch] column in the table displays the current production batch for the equipment. The [Number of Segments] column displays the current segment and the historical number of segments (for this batch). The [Seedling Power] column displays the predicted value for the current segment, while the historical number of segments displays the actual average power during the seeding phase, for diameters greater than 1000mm. The [Seedling Pot Position] column displays the predicted value for the current segment, while the historical number of segments displays the actual average power during the seeding phase, for diameters greater than 1000mm.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the seeding power trend chart shows the number of stages on the X-axis, the seeding power on the left, and the residual weight on the right. The three trend lines represent the predicted seeding power, the actual seeding power, and the actual residual weight, respectively.
