The kanban system is often used in the automotive industry to achieve the just in time (JIT) system. However, the current implementation of the system is still inefficient. There is still a waste of time and the possibility of operator error in the existing system. This could hinder the achievement of a JIT system. To optimize the current kanban system, an automatic production material monitoring system was designed that consist of counter, reading gate, server, database, and user interface. This document explains about the counter subsystem as well as the power regulator and notification subsystem which is part of the reading gate. Counter subsystem function is to count materials used in the production process. The power regulator subsystem function is to supply power to the components inside the reading gate. The notification subsystem function is to notify the operator when the information of pallet passing through the reading gate has been read. The results of the counter subsystem implementation and testing show that the subsystem successfully counts the amount of material correctly and successfully sends the amount of material to the server. The results of the power regulator subsystem implementation and testing show that the subsystem has succeeded in regulating the voltage from 12 V to 5 V so that the power supply of the reading gate components can be fulfilled. The results of the implementation and testing of the notification system show that the subsystem succeeds in providing notification to the operator properly when the reading gate has been reading the pallet information.
