EXPERIENCED TEAM
At Automation NTH, our strength lies in our people. With decades of combined experience across automation engineering, project management, and manufacturing, our team brings deep technical expertise and a collaborative mindset to every challenge. We're committed to delivering smart, scalable solutions—and being easy to work with every step of the way.
NTH UNIVERSITY
A number of years ago, we decided that we needed something better than the “learning by osmosis” approach. We wanted our engineers to develop more quickly, and also ensure a consistent baseline of automation engineering skills among our staff. For this reason, we developed a program called “NTH University” to accelerate and standardize engineering training.

RISK MANAGEMENT
All custom automation projects carry some amount risk. Unexpected issues inevitably emerge over the course of a project and increase with the complexity of an application. An automation company that uses a rigorous methodology to assess and manage risk will have a much higher probability of maintaining schedule and budget despite the many challenges along the way.
At Automation NTH , five factors are especially important to help us reduce risk throughout a project:

A PRACTICAL PATH TO AUTOMATION

Our approach helps you succeed at each step:

Automation Consultation

We start by understanding your current processes, production goals, and quality requirements.

Proof of Principle Creation

For new and complex processes, we develop proof of principle systems that validate key manufacturing steps before implementing full automation.

Scalable Production

We expand capacity as you grow, from semi-manual work cells to fully-automated production lines.

Core Values

We succeed by being continuous learners, innovative, and detail-oriented.

We work as one team with each other, our customers, and key partners.

We care deeply for our customers’ success, follow through on commitments, and proactively find ways to make them more competitive.

We hold ourselves to high standards and are dedicated to providing excellence in automation.

We possess a “game on” mentality and embrace new challenges.

We preserve a family environment by respecting and supporting every NTH employee.

STEM Scouts Lab

Community Outreach

Automation NTH sponsors Nashville area elementary, middle, and high school labs for STEM Scouts.  STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) education is vital to train the future engineers and technicians needed to lead manufacturers.  STEM Scouts provides a stimulating and fun environment for students from elementary to high school to get excited about technology and engineering.
