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

Everything your mining lab needs to track samples, streamline QA processes, and run metallurgical tests with a powerful mining LIMS built on Odoo ERP.

Track Samples

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.

Connect Instruments

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.

Report Smarter

Generate reports for ore grades, elemental content and tailings analysis. Export in formats aligned with NI 43-101, JORC, or ISO/IEC 17025.

Integrate ERP

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

Odoo

Mining Laboratory Management Software 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 full audit trails, including QA checks, retests, and non-conformance flags
  • Assign user access by role so techs, geologists, QA leads, and clients see only what they need
  • Centralize 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
