Mining LIMS Features for Metallurgical, Ore Assay, and Metals Testing Labs

Connect drill-site logistics, sample preparation, instrument data, QA/QC review, statistics and assay reporting in an Odoo-based mining LIMS.

Logistics and Chain of Custody

Our LIMS captures every sample from drill core to concentrate. Maintain full traceability across projects, lab batches and field sites.

Automate Tasks

Apply rules to auto-route samples, assign tests, and flag out-of-range results. Save time on assays, size analysis, and moisture content testing.

Analytics and Metrology

Automate data capture from spectrometers, hardness testers, and metallurgical analysers. OPC UA, APIs, or custom integration.

Enforce QA/QC

Check assays and batches against your grade limits, specs, and local mining regulations before release.

Statistics and Controlled Reporting

Generate controlled reports for ore grades, elemental content and tailings analysis. Configure report content around the laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope and applicable JORC or NI 43-101 reporting obligations.

Inventory and Odoo Operations

Syncs with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, JD Edwards, Oracle, Salesforce, and other mining and metallurgical platforms via Odoo's open connectors.

Mining LIMS for Metals Testing, Powered by Odoo

LIMS.Science runs entirely on Odoo, a powerful ERP system trusted by over 15 million users across the world.

We’ve adapted it specifically for mining and metallurgical laboratories. You can manage everything from sample tracking and QA to inventory, compliance, and reporting in one place.

 
  • Configure test methods, grade limits, and reporting units for ore assays, elemental tests, and metallurgical workflows
  • Track sample batches, storage conditions, and test timelines across drill sites, prep labs, and analysis labs
  • Approve or reject results with attributable change histories covering configured QA checks, retests and nonconformity flags
  • Assign user access by role so techs, geologists, QA leads, and clients see only what they need
  • Centralise multi-site operations across regions, mine sites, or contract labs in one dashboard
  • Access anywhere via the cloud or install on your own secure server
