Abstract
An online system uses a trained machine-learning model to predict timing of a state change of a variable state item in an order. The online system applies a trained machine-learning model to information about the variable state item and information about an ambient condition when servicing the order to predict a timing when a state of the variable state item changes from an original state at a location of a source associated with the online system to a different state. Based on the predicted timing, the online system generates a control signal that initiates at least one of a first action associated with the order or a second action associated with the variable state item. The online system performs, using the control signal, at least one of the first action associated with the order or the second action associated with the variable state item.
