This study aims to design and develop an automatic ice cream maker based on an electric motor to address efficiency challenges faced by small and medium-sized ice cream businesses that still use manual methods, with production times reaching 2–2.5 hours. The main problems identified include the high physical strain on operators, long production times, and inconsistent ice cream texture due to unstable manual churning. The methodology employed includes problem identification, anthropometric data collection, design development using a 12V DC motor system, and technical economic analysis. The research results indicate that this automated machine is capable of producing more stable and consistent rotation, accelerating the freezing process, and reducing work-related fatigue. Economically, this device has a production cost of Rp1,755,000 with a selling price of Rp2,018,250, where the break-even point is reached after selling 7 units. The implementation of this device is expected to increase the productivity and competitiveness of MSMEs through the modernization of appropriate technology that maintains the characteristics of traditional products.
