We have developed a completely autonomous and very durable system for measuring and displaying physical quantities.

Based on a very specific assignment, we have developed an Anemometer set for measuring and graphically displaying the values of basic climatic variables. Thanks to the universal concept, this system can also be modified to measure and display more or less any physical quantity that can be sensed by a sensor with analog or digital output. The system is completely autonomous and very resistant to environmental stress. It can find use in a wide range of industrial and MIL applications.

Meet AGATHA – Absolutely Grandicious Automat for Testing of High-tech Assemblies. Our colleagues from the R&D department have developed the AGATHA intelligent test device. The test equipment can test complex electronics. Thanks to automated testing, test outputs are several times faster than with standard testing. In addition, AGATHA offers variability in testing technology, easy test operation and can process all electronic signals or anything that can be converted into electrical quantities using sensors and sensors. Despite the larger dimensions of the test equipment, AGATHA is mobile.

Benefits of the AGATHA test equipment:

• automation of test procedures
• acceleration of test outputs
• execution of preselected activities based on measured values
• variability of testing technique
• easy operation of the test
• enables functional tests

Ray Service has joined the Whistleblowing project (in the Czech Republic under the name of a whistleblowing platform called NNTB). NNTB serves as an anonymous hotline, helping employees and the public to confide in the obstacles they encounter during work or cooperation. We undertake to investigate all such notifications and to rectify such objectionable situations.

There are several possible uses of the platform. Usually, employees or the public can send suggestions for improvements or use NNTB to notify us of issues that affect them or even their colleagues. That can include workplace bullying (mobbing, bossing, staffing, sexual harassment, etc.), discrimination, unpleasant work atmosphere, non-compliance with occupational health and safety and company regulations or guidelines, theft, fraud, property or reputation damage, damage to colleagues’ property, mental health issues (depression, anxiety, burnout, etc.), or even physical violence.

You can send us suggestions via this link: https://www.upozorneni.nntb.cz/en-gb/create

You can also use the mobile app NENECH TO BÝT powered by FaceUp available on Google Play and the App Store to communicate. The access code for submitting a suggestion is: 03sjepcgqm

How does NNTB work?

NNTB is anonymous if the whistleblower choses so by ticking the button in the notification form. Your messages go directly to the person responsible for solving such cases who take care of solving the matter. The advantage of NNTB is that you do not have to create an account but we are still able to respond to your anonymous request without any problems and actively deal with the issue.

At Ray Service, we have long-term cooperation with customers such as Boeing, General Dynamics, and Rheinmetall. In order to satisfy the high demands of our customers, we are continuously innovating and pushing the boundaries of the technologies used.

We stand on the threshold of major projects in the field of the defense industry, air defense systems, helicopters, and fighter aircraft. Globally, we are developing cooperation in this area with all the top players on the market, and the outlook for the next ten years is more than interesting.

These are the reasons why we need to grow and that is why we are building a new modern four-story building, which will have an automated warehouse with directly connected areas for production preparation, production areas, and offices for development and engineering.

The new building will complement the existing buildings in the Ray Service area and directly connect to the surrounding development, where it will be connected to these buildings on the 1^st-floor level. The concentration of all objects into one common unit is an economical and logical solution given the requirements and needs. The new building will offer work to approximately seventy people. It will be various professions, from workers in the field of development, engineering, and project management, through production mechanics and storekeepers to quality controllers.

The new Ray Service building will meet today’s demanding energy and environmental standards. The opening of the building is planned for the middle of next year.

This year’s Nato Days brings many novelties. One of them is the record representation of 22 countries. Exceptional will be the longest program of dynamic demonstrations where will be displayed about a hundred aircraft and a thousand pieces of ground technology, for example, TITUS and Pandur armored vehicles, to which we supplied fire protection equipment, complete cabling, and control boxes.

Furthermore, for the first time in the wider region of Central and Eastern Europe, the most modern Swedish tactical multi-role aircraft Gripen E. We are honored to be part of this spectacular event, the biggest security show in Europe.

The Forbes magazine included 3G Holding, the owner of Ray Service, in the list of 175 largest family companies in the Czech Republic.

After more than 25 years of existence, thanks to our employees and partners,
Ray Service (as the most important company of the holding) placed in 115th place in this ranking.

On 10 May 2022 Ray Service and Rheinmetall signed two major contracts worth over €60 Million for the deliveries of electronical and electrical systems for the Lynx IFV. The contracts covers control systems, cable harnesses and lighting systems for the second phase of the Hungarian Lynx KF41 program of the Hungarian Army, worth more than €30 Million. Another package of around €30 Million is a fix pre-contract for the deliveries of Lynx IFV to the Slovak Army once Rheinmetall will be awarded in ongoing tender.

“Rheinmetall has great interest in real partnership with the Slovak defence industries and is experienced with the integration of local companies into the global supply chain. In fact, by signing this contract, the integration of Slovak industry into the Lynx supply chain has already started,” states John Abunassar, CEO of Rheinmetall Vehicle Systems Division.

Ray Service components and systems for the Hungarian Defence Forces will be produced in their facility in Skalica, Slovakia and then exported to Hungary. Ray Service will thus benefit from integration into the Lynx supply chain prior to the actual IFV tender evaluation in Slovakia.

“Besides we are already having an extensive cooperation with Ray Service for our activities in Germany and the UK, I’m happy that we can extend our cooperation to Slovakia and Hungary and hopefully other countries – like the Czech Republic – in the future,” adds Oliver Mittesldorf, Executive Vice President Sales Tactical Vehicles at Rheinmetall. Rheinmetall is competing for the modernization of the Slovak Infantry Fighting Vehicle and is therefore looking to expand the defence industry network in Slovakia.

“We are very glad to finalize our common work with Rheinmetall on the IFV Lynx, that included R&D, know-how transfer and lot of prototyping works, which has now payed off in biggest contract in company history. This will allow us to make further large investments into our facility in Skalica and will secure and generate workload for more than 60 people over next 5 years. On top of this we already started our process of VG96927 certification which will allow us to enter further global projects of Rheinmetall” states Igor Hrabovec – Managing Director Ray Service Slovakia. “With this giant leap we will build up real competence centre in Slovakia.” says Jakub Gabriel, CEO Ray Service.

Frank Ohle – Rheinmetall Senior Vice President Purchase – adds: “Ray Service offers a state of the art production line and is a flexible partner that allows us to adapt perfectly to local requirements. The cooperation with Ray Service is only the first step for us to establish a local production network in Slovakia.”

The strategic cooperation ensures region-wide support from Ray Service for Rheinmetall’s innovative Lynx IFV platform. Ray Service contributes to Lynx and other Rheinmetall programmes through the supply of vitally crucial electro and electro-mechanic systems, as well as the localization of third-party equipment including NBC systems, fire extinguishing systems, turret drive systems and tracks and road wheels.

Based in Stare Mesto, Czech Republic and Zilina, Slovakia Ray Service started working with Rheinmetall in 2011.

“Lynx is the IFV of the 21st century and just on the beginning of its life cycle. Besides defining standards for survivability, mobility and lethality, it is the only medium weight combat system that offers real growth potential. Meeting the demands of the modern battlefield Lynx is the logical choice for the Army and a huge opportunity for domestic industrial development and growth,” says Frank Ohle, “Over the past 10 years, Ray Service has been an unfailingly reliable partner, delivering outstanding results time and time again. Their commitment to innovation makes them the perfect supplier for our innovative portfolio, and we look forward to deepening our relationship through this new strategic cooperation agreement.”

By means of this notification, we hereby inform you on the processing of your personal data.

Personal data controller and contact data

The personal data controller is Ray Service, a.s., Commercial registration no.: 277 56 203, registered office at Huštěnovská 2022, 686 03 Staré Město, Czech Republic, incorporated in the Commercial Register kept by the Regional Court in Brno, section B, file 5165 (hereinafter “Ray Service” or “we”).

Basic information

On 25 May 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, publicly known as GDPR, entered into force. It regulates the obligations of the controller of personal data (Ray Service), but also the rights that the subjects of personal data (you as a customer, visitor, etc.) have. These rights and obligations relate to personal data which means any information through which you can be directly or indirectly identified (e.g. your name, surname, birthdate, email address, etc.). In some cases, we use other companies to handle personal data – they are helping in processing and other operations. These are the so-called processors of personal data.

Processed data and the scope of processing

In order to be able to effectively carry out our business and communicate with you, we often need to obtain some personal data from you. These are, for example:

• your name and surname,
• phone number and email,

They will be different if you are acting towards us as a business partner, as a visitor of our company or as a job seeker. We do not process any sensitive data, such as health, race or biometric ones.

Reason and purpose and legal basis for the processing of personal data

The main reason for processing your personal data is, in particular, the efficient performance of our business activities and communication with you. We process your personal data only to the extent necessary to achieve such purposes and we regularly check whether they are still relevant and up to date.

Under the rules of the GDPR, if the controller wishes to process personal data, he must always process it on the grounds of a legal basis. At Ray Service, when processing personal data, we always verify the existence of a legal basis. This can be, for example, the performance of a contract if your personal data are necessary for e.g. concluding a contract or fulfilling a contractual relationship, or our legitimate interest in e.g. processing CVs of individual job seekers or sending newsletters to our customers. If this legal reason ceases to exist and there is no other, your personal data will be deleted.

In case you refuse to provide us with data for any reason, we may not be able to continue to effectively communicate with you or cooperate in other ways.

Processors and recipients of personal data

For maximum efficiency of our activities, but also for the security of your personal data, we cooperate with some processors and recipients in the following areas:

• providers of information systems, databases and IT services,
• providers of marketing and communication services,
• intermediaries in sending newsletters,
• contractual partners, etc.

If we are about to transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU, each transfer is based on an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards to ensure maximum security.

Period of the processing of personal data

The period of processing your personal data varies depending on the purpose for which we process it. However, they are always processed for the period required for the contract, period for which you consent lasts, or which is specified in applicable legal provisions, or our internal regulation.

Rheinmetall and Ray Service sign LYNX IFV strategic co-operation agreement

Rheinmetall, the manufacturer of the LYNX infantry fighting vehicle in contention for the Czech Republic’s ongoing IFV renewal programme, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Czech company Ray Service for current and future LYNX projects. The decade-long cooperation between the German and Czech companies has entered into a new phase expected to secure up to 50 jobs over the next five years.

The strategic cooperation agreement ensures region-wide support from Ray Service for Rheinmetall’s innovative LYNX IFV platform. Ray Service contributes to LYNX programmes through the supply of vitally important cable harnesses, electromechanical assemblies, and external lighting systems, as well as the supply of third-party equipment including Beth-El’s NBC system, Kidde Deugra’s fire extinguishing system, and tracks and road wheels from Defence Service Tracks.

Based in Staré Město, Ray Service started working with Rheinmetall in 2011. The company will support Rheinmetall through local content approaches in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.

“Taking our cooperation with Rheinmetall to the next level is fantastic news for Ray Service,” says Jakub Gabriel, Managing Director of Ray Service. “Working on the incredible LYNX platform has been an extremely rewarding experience, providing us with excellent challenges and opportunities for knowledge-sharing and research. Our new strategic cooperation with Rheinmetall for domestic and export projects will secure up to 50 jobs over the coming years while improving our R&D capabilities and opening up global export opportunities”.

Rheinmetall’s LYNX is a leading contender for the renewal of the Czech Republic’s IFV fleet with 210 next-generation vehicles. A fully modular platform, the LYNX can switch quickly between various battlefield and peace-keeping functions thanks to its high inherent degree of adaptability and flexibility. In 2020, the LYNX was chosen by the Hungarian Armed Forces for a similar IFV fleet renewal programme.

“LYNX is not only a lethal, modular vehicle for the modern battlefield and therefore the right choice for the Army, but also a huge opportunity for domestic industrial development and economic growth,” says Oliver Mittelsdorf, Senior Vice President Sales at Rheinmetall Defence. “Over the past 10 years, Ray Service have been an unfailingly reliable partner, delivering outstanding results time and time again. Their commitment to innovation makes them the perfect supplier for the LYNX, and we look forward to deepening our relationship through this new strategic cooperation agreement.”

Rheinmetall’s commitment to the localization of production includes a pledge to use Czech components for more 40% of the LYNX KF41 if it wins the IFV tender. Other Czech LYNX suppliers would include MEOPTA, Česká zbrojovka and VOP CZ. The LYNX’s crucial Lance 2.0 turret system would meanwhile be built at Rheinmetall’s production plant in the Ústí nad Labem region, where it employs more than a thousand people.
