Rayhawk Technologies, founded in 2021, focuses on automating railcar loading to enhance safety. The company has secured three contracts in the US: with FS Grain in Illinois, Market County Grain in Minnesota, and Dakota Midland Grain in North Dakota.

This marks Rayhawk's first entry into the US market. The startup developed a mechanical gantry system that autonomously opens and closes railcar lids, utilizing machine learning and computer vision to adapt to various conditions.

Rayhawk received $3 million CAD in seed funding and additional government support from Innovation Saskatchewan, PrairiesCan, and the National Research Council of Canada. The company aims to expand its technology beyond grain elevators over time.
