The first Italian experimental train leaves Bologna with
DAC technology - Digital Automatic Coupling, the system that
Automates wagon coupling and enables the exchange of
energy and data along the train. Presented today by FS Logistix and
Interporto Bologna during the event "Open Hub - Logistics
5.0 for companies in Emilia-Romagna", the train is
was the protagonist of a demonstration of the features
developed to make rail freight more
digital, secure and efficient.
DAC allows for automatic pairing and unpairing
of the wagons and creates a network along the train for the
and the exchange of data. Technology thus opens up the
digital functions for the preparation and management of the
freight train, with the aim of making operations more
safe and efficient. The demonstration in Bologna represents a
concrete step in the path that leads to these European solutions
from experimentation to verification in an operational context.
"With the first Italian DAC demo train - underlined
Sabrina De Filippis, CEO and General Manager of
FS Logistix - we bring a concrete stage of innovation to Bologna
European railways. The results we admire today are the result of
a path that required collaboration between operators,
industry, institutions and the world of research and that we want to translate
in real benefits for those who work in the sector and for the companies that
choose the railway. The choice of Bologna Interporto also tells
Our vision for logistics: connecting innovation to nodes
and the nodes to services. Together with Interporto Bologna we want to
enhance the potential of Emilia-Romagna, strengthening the
rail and intermodal relations to support supply chains
and their ability to reach new
markets".
«Welcoming the first DAC demo train to Interporto Bologna
- highlighted Stefano Caliandro, president of the
interport society - means being protagonists of a
transformation that looks to the future of rail freight transport.
Innovation, digitalisation and intermodality are levers
essential to make logistics more efficient, safe and
competitive".
