Building visions. Creating reality.
Black Pearl Automation is an industrial automation and fabrication shop based in Lascassas, Tennessee, serving manufacturers throughout Middle Tennessee.
Automation people who also build things
Plenty of firms will program your PLC. Plenty of others will weld your frame or machine your fixture. Very few do both, and the seam between them is where projects go sideways — schedules slip, scope gets disputed, and the plant manager ends up mediating between contractors who have never met.
Black Pearl exists to close that gap. We integrate FANUC and Universal Robots cells, write and troubleshoot PLC and HMI code across every major platform, build control panels to print or from scratch, weld the structures that hold it together, and machine the parts that make it work. One team carries a project from concept to running production.
The work spans automotive, aerospace, food processing, electronics, medical devices, and energy — anywhere a process needs to run faster, safer, or with fewer people touching it.
Where we are
8049 Valley View Rd, Lascassas, TN 37085 — just outside Murfreesboro, within easy reach of Nashville, Smyrna, Shelbyville, Lebanon, and the surrounding industrial corridor.
Who we work with
Manufacturers and job shops that need a partner rather than a vendor — from a single machine retrofit to a complete automated cell.
How we price
Fixed quotes after a real scoping conversation. Free quotes and consultations, and no obligation to move forward.
When we answer
24/7 for emergency breakdowns. Downtime does not keep business hours, so neither do we.
What you can count on
Clean, documented work
Every program is written with maintainable logic, safety-compliant design, clear documentation, and room to grow. Your next contractor should be able to open our code and understand it — and so should your maintenance tech at 3am.
Honest scoping
If a retrofit will get you most of the benefit for a third of the cost of a new machine, we will say so. If what you are asking for will not solve the problem you actually have, we will say that too.
Uptime first
We build and test off-site wherever possible, schedule cutovers around your production calendar, and treat your running line as the constraint it is.
Let’s talk about your project.
Whether it is a single robot, a full line, or a machine that has been fighting you for months — start with a conversation.
