[Spaceships] "Open Space" systems and Automation

The description of "Open Space" systems on page 19 lists "Technicians" but not "Workspaces". Can High or Full Automation be applied to "Open Space" systems to reduce the manpower requirements?

I think automation is going to be required at high SMs, given the progression of technicians per acre. At SM+27 and higher, the technicians required to maintain an open space system would be too great in number to congregate within the open space.
