Online LIMS has built laboratory information management software for mining, smelter and environmental laboratories since 1989.

Online LIMS is a software technology company focused on laboratory automation and instrument integration tools. With 25 years in the market and a unique and comprehensive background, we offer labs a range of automation solutions while continuing to innovate and delivery new products to the market. Headquartered in Ontario Canada, we have offices around the world to support out clients worldwide.

Our CMO, Esteban Timmermann, wrote for Lab Manager about the instrument every lab has and few plan for: the one you can't replace. Three lessons from integrating instruments in mining labs, and the day a mine paved its entrance with gold.

Completing a corrective action does not prove that it worked.

A laboratory may revise a procedure, service equipment or retrain personnel. Those records show that the action was implemented. Before closing the CAPA, the laboratory still needs evidence that the action achieved its intended result and that the problem did not recur under the conditions evaluated.

Using a failed pulverised-sample screen check as the example, our latest article follows the evidence chain from the original finding and NCR through root cause, corrective action, effectiveness verification and authorised closure.

A mine-water result is only as strong as the evidence behind it.

From monitoring-point identity and custody to sample receipt, analysis, QA/QC, technical review and authorised reporting, every step needs to remain connected and traceable.

Our latest article explains where the laboratory evidence chain begins, what a LIMS can preserve, and where the responsibilities of field teams, environmental specialists and regulators remain separate.

Two laboratories may report matching copper concentrate assays while keeping very different evidence records.

When a result supports settlement or arbitration, the lab needs to reconstruct the full chain: sampling, preparation, instrument output, review, approval, reporting and controlled corrections.

This article explains the LIMS controls behind that record.

Mine production reconciliation is about explaining variance, not forcing every number to match.

Grade control, stockpiles, plant feed, final product and tailings describe different points in the production chain. Their values may use different sampling periods, moisture bases and approval states.

OnLIMS preserves the laboratory context behind each assay result, including its sample identity, analytical method, QA/QC status and revision history. That evidence helps production teams separate analytical variance from operational variance.

A precise result is only useful when it still belongs to the right shipment.

Between the mine and the port, a mineral sample may pass through collection, preparation, transport, laboratory testing and independent inspection. At every transfer, the operation must preserve its identity, seals, custody history and connection to the original lot.

ISO/IEC 17025 controls how the laboratory produces and reviews the result. ISO/IEC 17020 controls how the inspection body performs and documents its work. Representative sampling and chain of custody connect both processes to the physical shipment.

Our new article explains why these controls are different, how they work together, and how OnLIMS preserves the laboratory record through sample registration, preparation, QA/QC, approval and reporting.

One sample. Four connected applications. One traceable operational record.

OnLAB manages the sample lifecycle and chain of custody. OnWSH captures instrument results and calculations. OnLQC controls the QA/QC decision. LabData gives authorized stakeholders read-only access to finalized information.

Together, they preserve the context from sample login to reporting—and allow teams to trace a reported value back to the worksheet and quality controls behind it.

Un resultado no es evidencia.

Un laboratorio puede informar un resultado válido y aun así no poder demostrar quién lo revisó, qué versión del método se utilizó, si el equipo estaba calibrado o qué registros respaldan la decisión.

OnQMS conecta cada cláusula de ISO/IEC 17025 con evidencia operativa viva entre LIMS y QMS, sin reescribir el núcleo transaccional.

🚀 Today we launch OnQMS — the Accreditation Evidence Platform for mining and environmental laboratories.

Every accredited lab knows the moment: the assessor asks for one clause, and the answer lives across spreadsheets, shared folders and someone's memory. OnQMS ends the archaeology: ISO/IEC 17025 coverage clause by clause, with drill-down to the actual evidence — documents, signatures, PT control charts (z-score, ISO 13528), calibrations, competence.

Country packs for 8 frameworks (Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Spain, Canada, USA, Argentina), fully bilingual EN/ES, and an optional local AI assistant — your data never leaves your network.

And we'll say it first: OnQMS doesn't accredit you — only your accreditation body does that. It keeps your evidence alive, complete, and ready to demonstrate.
