Abstract
Pagaralam is a mountainous region with chilly temperatures, many of which have been cultivated with tea and coffee plants by the locals. These tea and coffee trees flourish, making them a dependable source of revenue for the local community. Obstacles in the field include conventional equipment for picking tea leaves, which slow down the harvesting process, as well as slippery and steep road conditions. This makes it more difficult for employees to reach the leaves that need to be plucked using standard equipment. One of the ways to enhance the added value for the community (partners) in terms of agricultural yields is to develop instruments that are more practical, quick, and ergonomic, and needless human work. The procedure entails designing and introducing a tea leaf picker powered by a dc motor. Based on the findings of field experiments, technologies can be developed to accelerate and increase the quantity of harvest. The community (partners) can sense a considerable boost in efficiency and effectiveness.

Summary
Pagaralam merupakan daerah pegunungan yang berhawa dingin, banyak ditanami oleh masyarakat dengan tanaman teh dan kopi. Tanaman teh dan kopi ini tumbuh dengan subur, sehingga merupakan komoditas yang cukup diandalkan oleh masyarakat setempat sebagai sumber penghasilan. Kendala di lapangan yaitu berupa alat untuk panen daun teh yang masih tradisional sehingga proses panen lebih lambat dan juga kendala dengan kondisi jalan yang licin dan menanjak. Hal ini membuat pekerja yang menggunakan alat tradisional kadang kesulitan untuk menjangkau daun yang akan dipetik. Salah satu usaha untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah bagi masyarakat (mitra) dalam meningkatkan hasil panen adalah dengan cara membuat alat yang lebih praktis, cepat dan ergonomis serta tanpa harus mengeluarkan banyak tenaga manusia. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan merancang dan mengenalkan alat pemetik daun teh menggunakan motor dc.
