Objective
The availability, cost and quality of software that enables design data to be exchanged, shared and developed concurrently is a critical business issue which is impeding progress towards a 100% fully digital product life cycle.
The objective of STEPWISE is to provide technology which improves the quality and reduces the cost of software developed from EXPRESS information models. It will demonstrate an architecture that enables effective software implementations to be created from EXPRESS information models. This will be achieved by automating the derivation of industrial-quality Application Procedural Interfaces (API), physical file formats and other tools by stepwise transformation of EXPRESS models guided by target specific configuration data.
It is predicted that up to 50% savings can be expected against current manual methods in addition to improved quality and performance. This will achieve substantial progress in the STEP standard in this area.
End users of this technology are currently larger organisations which have a motivation to make design data accessible both internally and externally. They will test prototype implementations as a demonstration of the value and effectiveness of the technology.
The consortium has all the skills necessary for research, development, testing, and exploitation of the STEPWISE technology, in particular demonstrating that,
- It can meet the needs of industrial companies in different technical domains
- It is capable of providing a vehicle for harnessing the technology from a variety of different sources, each with a different but perfectly valid emphasis

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
