An information processing device according to the present disclosure including: a mesh division unit (102) that divides at least part of first and second images captured at different times of a target area for detecting chips generated from a workpiece, into a plurality of mesh regions, the images each being an inside image of a machine tool; and an information processing unit (103) that performs processing to associate (a) information on a first chip corresponding to a specific mesh region among the plurality of the mesh regions corresponding to the first image, (b) information on a second chip corresponding to the specific mesh region among the plurality of the mesh regions corresponding to the second image, (c) a first time related to the first image, and (d) a second time related to the second image.

Systems and methods for enforcing a cleaning of a medical device are disclosed. A method includes receiving an indication that a medical device has been exposed to a contaminate, providing, responsive to receiving the indication, an instruction to disable the medical device, receiving, after transmitting the instruction, cleaning information indicating that a cleaning of the medical device was attempted, identifying a predetermined cleaning procedure corresponding to the medical device and the contaminate, determining, based on the cleaning information, that the medical device was cleaned according to the predetermined cleaning procedure corresponding to the medical device and the contaminate, and enabling the medical device responsive to determining that the medical device was cleaned according to the predetermined cleaning procedure.

A machine learning device has an input data acquisition unit that acquires input data including an arbitrary machining condition for an arbitrary workpiece to be machined by an arbitrary machine tool, a cleaning condition for cleaning, by an arbitrary cleaning device, the inside of a machine by which the workpiece was machined under the machining condition and state information indicating a degree of dirtiness of the inside of the machine before the machining under the machining condition. The device also has a label acquisition unit that acquires, as label data, state information about the inside of the machine after machining under the machining condition and cleaning under the cleaning condition included in the input data, and a learning unit that executes supervised learning using the input data and the label data, so as to generate a learned model.

A method for the dosing of cleaning agents in cleaning machines includes the steps: receiving the control information items; wherein the control information items are dependent on an information item about a cleaning machine; determining the progress of a cleaning operation; dosing of cleaning agent depending on the received control information items and the determined progress of the cleaning operation; wherein the information item about the cleaning machine can be manually input via a user interface.
