The portable electric canting innovation has been developed to enhance the productivity of batik artisans in Pekalongan by considering Quality Function Deployment (QFD). This research aims to address the challenges faced in the traditional batik-making process, which is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. The research method employed includes identifying user needs, developing questionnaires, and analyzing data to evaluate user satisfaction with the electric canting. The results indicate that the portable electric canting can improve efficiency and comfort in the batik-making process while meeting users' needs for a practical and high-quality tool. Thus, this innovation is expected to contribute to the preservation of batik art in Indonesia.
 
 

By modifying three traditional canting designs using the House of Quality (HoQ) method, this article discusses the development of a portable electric canting. The main focus of this research is to use electrical technology to improve the convenience and efficiency of the batik-making process. Each new design has a recharging system that allows the user to recharge the power source. User needs and wants were discovered and incorporated into the technical specifications of each design through HoQ analysis. Research shows that these changes not only improve tool performance but also make the batik-making process safer and more environmentally friendly. Therefore, through the development of relevant and sustainable technologies, this project contributes to the preservation of Indonesia's batik culture.
