Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing variables of a kiln are provided (e.g., to determine a kiln output product state of a kiln and to manage a mode of operation of the kiln apparatus or an associated subsystem based on the determined kiln output product state). Any suitable kiln model(s) may be trained and utilized in conjunction with any suitable kiln apparatus monitoring data that may be indicative of any suitable characteristic(s) of any suitable kiln apparatus(es) and/or any suitable kiln material monitoring data that may be indicative of any suitable characteristic(s) of any suitable kiln material(s) of the kiln apparatus(es) and/or any suitable external environment monitoring data that may be indicative of any suitable characteristic(s) of any suitable environment(s) external to the kiln apparatus(es) in order to predict or otherwise determine automatically a kiln output product state of a kiln in a particular environment.
