Objective
The strategic objective of ESCN is establish and execute a STEP/Product Data Technology (PDT) training and technology transfer programme, a necessary building block to make STEP a sustainable competitive advantage for European industry. ESCN will establish and execute a STEP training program targeted at industrial and research project teams.
STEP is in theory accessible to all since it is an international standard. However it is a lengthy process for newcomers to familiarise themselves with it due to its complexity, its broad scope and continuous development. ESCN will target EU funded projects using STEP technology, particularly SMEs, who have an increasing need for PDT and standardised interfaces, but have found it difficult to acquire this emerging technology.
The aim of ESCN is,
- To train teams of professionals from European projects and SMEs in the use and further development of STEP/PDT;
- To execute dissemination and awareness activities in order to promote the implementation of STEP/PDT in an industrial context;
- To increase the participation of European STEP Centres in the development and industrial deployment of STEP/PDT as consultants.
The scope of the training and technology transfer activities encompasses further,
- Product data technology in general and STEP in specific in order to assist European projects and SMEs in using modellers, EXPRESS, and STEP Application Protocols;
- The collective areas of expertise and industrial coverage of the ESCN centres e.g. automotive, process industry, ship building, aerospace.
