The introduction of the Digital Automatic Coupling (DAC) is becoming a revolution for freight transport in Europe, providing a long-term competitive advantage. However, beyond increasing efficiency and safety, this innovation also brings new benefits for those working in this field, easing their daily routines. The profession of a shunter is a challenging task that demands significant physical effort and is performed under extreme weather conditions at all times of day and night. In the future, this profession will become more diverse in its tasks and, in terms of physical exertion, safer and simpler. Currently, trains are manually coupled, involving lifting and transferring the heavy 20-kilogram coupling hook between the wagons. DAC automates this process, making it significantly more efficient and safer.
