One of the pieces of equipment used in the combustion-based process of creating ceramic tiles is a kiln production machine or oven. To make sure the combustion process runs smoothly, 39 parameters on the kiln engine are closely monitored, and it is manually determined if the value of these parameters exceeds the minimum or maximum limits based on the data produced by the image on the kiln engine. Losses for the company are caused by human error, carelessness, and other characteristics while these metrics are being monitored. In order to minimize losses, a monitoring system that can automate the settings of ceramic tile combustion engines is required. The initial analysis's findings are obtained using a LAN (Local Area Network) sensor recorder, which displays parameter data that can be accessed as an image rather than as digital alphanumeric data that cannot be processed directly and must instead be converted into alphanumeric data as a data source. The image is turned into alphanumeric data using the template matching technique introduced with optical character recognition (OCR), and the generated data is then compared with the given minimum or maximum parameter values. This gadget will issue an early warning message if the conversion result is more than the minimum or maximum limit. The system prototype used in this study for converting image data into alphanumeric data achieved an accuracy of 100.00% and was able to send early warning notifications in accordance with parameters that were above the established minimum or maximum limits.
