Abstract

Thailand’s ceramic manufacturing tradition possesses a long and distinguished history, reflecting the nation’s rich cultural heritage, artistic excellence, and capacity for technological adaptation. Traditional Thai ceramics extend beyond their functional purposes, serving as important expressions of indigenous knowledge, craftsmanship, social values, and religious beliefs that have been transmitted across generations. While preserving their distinctive Thai characteristics, these ceramic traditions have continuously evolved through cultural exchanges with neighboring civilizations, particularly China and India, as well as later influences from the West. Among the various decorative techniques employed in Thai ceramics, stamping and hand-painted ornamentation are recognized as two of the most significant methods, contributing to the aesthetic and cultural value of ceramic works. These techniques enable ceramic products to embody both artistic expression and practical functionality by harmoniously integrating aesthetic design with reliable craftsmanship. In contemporary manufacturing environments, traditional stamping and painting methods are increasingly integrated with semi-automated processes and advanced ceramic machinery to enhance production efficiency while preserving cultural authenticity. This study proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based control system for ceramic stamping and painting machines, designed to support remote operation, real-time monitoring, and performance evaluation, with particular attention given to response time and error characteristics. By incorporating sensors, controllers, and networked communication technologies into ceramic manufacturing equipment, the proposed system establishes a meaningful connection between intelligent automation and traditional artistic practices.
