Laboratories in the mining industry face increasing time constraints as well as regulatory pressures. Companies can alleviate these strains by using the Core LIMS to increase efficiency, data integrity, product quality, and regulatory compliance. Global demand for minerals is growing, and supply chains are expanding to keep up. Mining labs require the enhanced communication and organization-wide reporting capabilities provided by the Core LIMS to remain competitive in the current environment.
Mining systems must balance their profitability with environmental impact. The Core LIMS can be configured to monitor any aspect of the environment, including human exposure to materials. Any object can be defined in terms of any type of attribute within the system, allowing mining laboratories to track as many variables as necessary, and associate them with employees, samples, mine sites, sample batches, etc. The system allows for sample splitting and composition to support mining operations.
