The process of making herbal medicine in pounded manually takes time and more energy, with herbs pounder machine made by using arduino-based pneumatic can accelerate the production process and eliminate the potential risks of the spine. This machine uses an Arduino as a control, the LCD as thedisplay output, pneumatic cylinder as a suppressor to pound herbs, DC motor as mortar, and buttons as the input. After testing, this tool has some weakness that is relatively expensive tool-making cost, production costs Rp. 0 to Rp. 2,052 every month. The efficiency of this machine depends on the stability of the pressure that produced the inflator. Inflator has a time limit discharging about 20min, so that the entire producction process requires a longer time to rest because the inflator
