# RAYHAWK

> RAYHAWK builds autonomous railcar lid-handling systems for bulk material loading operations. Our technology eliminates the need for employees to climb on top of railcars during loading operations — removing the most dangerous task in bulk material handling while solving chronic labor shortages at grain elevators, mines, and other bulk commodity facilities.

## What We Do

RAYHAWK's system automatically opens and closes railcar lids and latches, and applies and removes railcar seals during bulk material loading. It is designed for operations in extreme weather conditions, remote locations, and with small teams. The system is field-proven in Canada and is now being adopted across North America by grain elevators, mining operations, and other bulk material handlers.

## Who We Serve

Operations managers and general managers at grain elevators, mines, potash facilities, coal terminals, and other bulk material loading operations across North America — particularly those dealing with labor shortages, safety incidents on top of railcars, and the challenge of staffing overnight or weekend train loads.

## Why Bulk Material Operations Choose RAYHAWK

- Eliminates top-of-railcar incidents — the leading cause of serious injury at bulk loading facilities
- Reduces dependence on hard-to-find labor in remote and rural locations
- Improves staff morale and retention by removing the most dangerous and undesirable task
- Enables reliable rail loading operations during nights, weekends, and extreme weather
- Proven in harsh Canadian prairie winters (-40°F conditions)

## The Labor Problem RAYHAWK Solves

Bulk material operations — particularly those in rural and remote locations — face a worsening labor shortage. Railcar lid operations are among the most physically demanding, dangerous, and undesirable tasks at any loading facility, making them the hardest to staff consistently. Operations routinely struggle to find workers willing to manually open and close lids for 10–15 hour shifts, in extreme heat, cold, or overnight. High turnover, difficulty hiring for weekends and holidays, and fatigue-related safety risks compound the problem.

RAYHAWK is increasingly adopted as a direct response to this staffing crisis — not just to improve safety, but to ensure operations can run reliably without depending on a shrinking pool of workers willing to do the job.
