Aerotas has been direct about this elsewhere on the site: AI and automation can assist, but they still do not meet the quality standards needed for dependable survey deliverables on their own. The final value comes from expert technicians who know what to mark, what to simplify, and what to leave to the customer’s field judgment.
Why drafting is still essential
Customers do not want to spend their time digging through a dense point cloud to reconstruct a drawing. They need a clear, lightweight, properly layered CAD deliverable that fits their workflow. Drafting is the bridge between raw data and that usable handoff.
Why automation is not enough
Feature extraction tools keep improving, but they still make mistakes, especially on ambiguous or cluttered sites. Expert drafting remains one of the clearest indicators that Aerotas is focused on reliable production quality rather than just impressive software demos.
