PROSTEP Awarded Multi-Million-Euro Contract

PROSTEP has been awarded a contract by Airbus. Within the framework of this contract, the company will assume responsibility for the integration of digital mock-up (DMU) data for the A380, long-range and single-aisle aircraft programs as an external service provider. Integration will be performed at the Airbus facilities in Toulouse, Hamburg and Bremen by a number of teams comprising both PROSTEP experts and employees from partner companies. The project is slated to run for two and a half years.

The large contract is a continuation of the long-standing collaboration between the two companies with regard to DMU integration during development of the Airbus A380. “Our job is to ensure the completeness and quality of the digital mock-up in the development process of the customer-specific aircraft”, stresses Dr. Markus Sachers, managing director of PROSTEP ITS GmbH, which is part of the PROSTEP Group and focuses primarily on customers in the aerospace and shipbuilding industries. “This represents a considerable expansion of our previous area of responsibility.”

PROSTEP has been providing a number of services to Airbus, EADS and their suppliers for some time now. PROSTEP is also an equal partner in the joint venture CenProCS AIRliance GmbH, which has been a prime contractor for EADS with regard to IT application services for a number of years. This means that all Airbus facilities can make direct use of PROSTEP’s services.
