Engineering Automation Consultancy

Stop bleeding time on manual engineering tasks.

Drakarian Services Inc. builds custom software, API integrations, and cloud architectures that eliminate repetitive workflows — so your engineering and operations teams can focus on high-value work.

The Problem

You shouldn't have to manually bridge the gap between your systems.

Manufacturing, R&D, and logistics teams lose thousands of hours each year to data bottlenecks. Whether your engineers are stuck in repetitive setups, your legacy applications aren't connected to your modern tools, or your team is doing manual data entry across disconnected systems — these inefficiencies are costing you.

What We Do

Custom solutions for complex technical workflows

Engineering & CAD Automation

Custom software tools that interact directly with your existing CAD and engineering APIs — automating repetitive design processes and reducing setup times from hours to minutes.

System Integration & Modernization

Robust data bridges that securely connect your mission-critical legacy infrastructure to modern web tools and cloud environments.

Cloud Architecture & Data Pipelines

Serverless cloud architectures and automated data pipelines that centralize your operations, eliminate human error, and give you real-time visibility.

AI-Augmented Automation

We embed AI directly into your workflows to handle the judgment-heavy steps rule-based automation can't — reading unstructured documents, making decisions, and adapting to exceptions instead of breaking.

AI-Augmented Automation

Automation that doesn't just follow rules — it reasons

Classic automation handles the predictable. We embed AI directly into your workflows to take on the messy, judgment-heavy steps that used to need a human — reading unstructured documents, sorting incoming requests and routing them to the right team or system, spotting anomalies, and letting your team query systems in plain language. The result: automations that adapt instead of breaking on the first exception.

Document & Data Extraction

Pull structured data out of PDFs, emails, drawings, and scanned forms — no manual re-keying, no brittle templates.

Intelligent Classification & Routing

Automatically categorize, prioritize, and route tickets, parts, or requests based on their actual content — not rigid keyword rules.

Natural-Language Interfaces

Let your team ask questions of your data and trigger workflows in plain English or French — no new dashboard to learn.

Anomaly & Error Detection

Surface outliers, data-quality issues, and edge cases automatically — before they reach production or a customer.

I'm a Montréal-based software engineer with a Master's degree and five years of experience in backend architecture and engineering automation. I founded Drakarian Services to help businesses transform their most labor-intensive technical processes into streamlined, high-performance workflows — from serverless data pipelines to custom CAD automation tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about engineering automation

Engineering automation is the use of custom software to eliminate repetitive, manual tasks in engineering workflows. This includes automating CAD processes, building data pipelines that connect disconnected systems, and creating cloud architectures that centralize operations — allowing engineering teams to focus on high-value design work instead of manual data entry and configuration.

CAD automation uses custom software that interfaces directly with CAD application APIs (such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or AutoCAD) to programmatically perform tasks that engineers typically do manually. This can include automated simulation setup, batch processing of assemblies, material assignment, and drawing generation — reducing tasks that take hours to just minutes or seconds.

Manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, energy, construction, and any industry with engineering teams that rely on CAD software, Bills of Materials, or complex data workflows. Companies with legacy systems that don't communicate with modern tools see the highest ROI from automation — often recovering their investment within the first few months.

Yes. We embed AI where it adds real leverage — extracting data from unstructured documents, sorting incoming requests and routing them to the right team or system, building natural-language interfaces over your systems, and flagging anomalies automatically. We deliberately keep rule-based logic where it's cheaper and more predictable, and reach for AI only where judgment is genuinely required — so you get adaptive automation without paying for AI you don't need.

Drakarian Services offers flat-rate, tiered pricing based on project scope — not hourly billing. Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute discovery call to identify the specific bottleneck and estimate ROI before any commitment. This transparent approach ensures you know exactly what you're paying for upfront.

A Medallion architecture is a multi-layered data pipeline pattern where data flows through Bronze (raw ingestion), Silver (cleansed and validated), and Gold (business-level aggregations) layers. This approach ensures data quality, traceability, and enables real-time analytics. Drakarian Services implements Medallion architectures using tools like Microsoft Fabric, Python, and Delta Parquet.

Drakarian Services Inc. is based in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. We serve clients across North America, working remotely with teams in both English and French.
