Eurostep works with it customers in Discrete Manufacturing to:
• Analyse and define new processes within IT design and manufacturing
• Specify requirements for integrating and - procuring new system
• Prototype new software solutions

The aerospace industry is increasingly becoming a number of multi partner projects and initiatives. This raises many issues of how to link and integrate design and manufacture systems across different companies. Eurostep have worked with major manufacturers such as BAE Systems and Boeing to define their requirements and integrate systems for design, analysis and parts lists definition.

The automotive industry players face the challenge of rapidly increasing their product variety whilst keeping costs down in a high technology mass manufacturing environment. Eurostep have helped truck and car manufacturers such as Volvo, Scania and DaimlerChrysler to either specify their requirements or prototype software solutions. Eurostep has worked with automotive customers to define the next generation of Product Data Management systems and Enterprise Resource Planning systems as well as developed translators for their in-house systems.

Similarly in the electronics industry Eurostep has worked with industry leaders such as Ericsson and Nokia. These companies and their suppliers face similar issues of matching increased product variety with mass manufacture. This in turn often requires all involved to re-examine and upgrade their information management concepts and systems and Eurostep has been at the forefront of resolving these issues.

Throughout the work Eurostep is able to draw upon its skilled consultants, often world leaders in their domains of product configuration, exchange standards and PDM, and often with direct experience of the aerospace, electronics and automotive industries. And it the Eurostep unique ability to mix domain knowledge with leading expertise in XML, UML, STEP, CORBA that makes it such a valuable partner for many discrete manufacturing companies.
