About
A Pittsburgh company built for the jobs that shouldn’t put people in the air.
Certified disabled Veteran-owned. FAA Part 107. Focused on architectural, engineering, construction, and inspection work since 2016.
The company
The future of data collection is already here.
AerdiA is a certified disabled Veteran-owned commercial drone company specializing in aerial LiDAR, vertical inspections, thermal data collection, 3D modeling, progression documentation, and brand awareness.
Since 2016 we have focused strictly on the architectural, engineering, and construction industries — supplying the airborne data that lets teams measure, document, and decide without putting people on a roof, a tower, or a slope they don’t need to stand on.
Point clouds, CAD overlays, photography, videography, and digital twins, often delivered within 72 hours. We are here to meet your supplier-diversity initiatives without compromising the work.
Founder
Seth Zora
President · U.S. Air Force Veteran · Pittsburgh
Seth is a retired, disabled veteran. After twelve years in the U.S. Air Force he founded AerdiA in Pittsburgh, building the company around mapping, inspections, and LiDAR — the work he first saw the value of while serving in Afghanistan in 2008.
He has 300+ hours on unmanned aircraft, including the DJI M600 Pro, M210, Phantom 4 RTK, and the rest of a working commercial fleet. The standard is the same on every sortie: ask what is actually needed, then deliver more than was asked.
