FROM COLLECTION TO ANALYSIS, PROTECT THE HANDOFF

Mining Sample Management & LIMS Workflow Support

One missed handoff can break the chain of custody behind a critical sample. Asset Panda helps teams track sample custody, location, status, and documentation from field collection through lab review.

MAKE THE SAMPLE TRAIL EASIER TO FOLLOW AND DEFEND

Reduce the gaps between field collection, lab analysis, and review.

Spend less time reconstructing handoffs

Capture custody and status as work happens so teams are not piecing the sequence together later from spreadsheets, labels, folders, and email.

Keep field and lab teams aligned

Download the information needed before entering low-connectivity areas, make supported updates offline, and sync after reconnecting so the lab is not waiting on manual re-entry.

See what needs attention sooner

Bring sample status, review dates, service needs, and other due work into clearer view instead of relying on separate reminders and files.

Make review and audit questions easier to answer

Maintain documentation, signatures, photos, and activity trails with the work so evidence is easier to retrieve when someone asks.

WHEN THE SAMPLE MOVES, THE EVIDENCE HAS TO MOVE WITH IT

A sample can be physically present and still be operationally lost.

Field teams collect it. The lab receives it. Storage, preparation, analysis, and review may involve different people and locations. When status, custody, and supporting information split between spreadsheets, labels, and service logs, teams end up reconstructing what happened.

  • Sample IDs, storage locations, custody updates, and review dates live in separate files or handoffs.
  • Remote collections can wait hours or days for someone to re-enter what happened after connectivity returns.
  • Service schedules and due dates can sit apart from the lab equipment and workflows they support.
  • Quality or audit questions turn into a search through spreadsheets, folders, and email.

Make every handoff part of the operational trail.

Asset Panda connects sample records, barcode scans, locations, signatures, photos, submitted forms, calibration, and service activity so teams can see what happened without rebuilding the sequence.

Track field kits and lab equipment

Maintain location, assignment, condition, manuals, and operating details for sampling kits, preparation tools, and other supporting assets.

Explore Equipment Management

Tie calibration evidence to the right instrument

Track due dates, submitted checks, certificates, and reminders for instruments and other items that must stay within required calibration cycles.

Explore Calibration Management

Catch service needs before work stops

Schedule preventive maintenance, assign work, and retain service documentation so critical equipment is ready when sample preparation and analysis depend on it.

Explore Maintenance Management

Standardize required steps and evidence

Use required fields, signatures, photos, forms, and permissions so defined workflows capture the same evidence each time.

Explore Compliance Management

Report from the current trail

Use saved views, scheduled reports, activity history, and attachments to answer quality, operations, or audit questions without reconstructing the process from multiple files.

Mining Sample Management & LIMS Workflows FAQ

What is mining LIMS software?

Mining LIMS software helps teams manage sample identification, custody, status, storage, workflow steps, and documentation from collection through analysis and review. Asset Panda can also connect due dates, certificates, and service information for supporting equipment.

Does Asset Panda replace a dedicated mining LIMS?

No. Asset Panda supports sample tracking, chain of custody, barcode workflows, laboratory equipment management, and operational documentation. It can complement specialized LIMS and analytical systems. Any required integration or data exchange should be validated for the specific system.

How does Asset Panda support sample chain of custody?

Create sample records, scan barcodes or QR codes, update custody, status, and storage at handoffs, and capture required signatures, photos, and forms. The activity trail shows who changed what and when.

Can teams work offline at mine sites or remote collection areas?

Yes. Download the needed data before entering a low-connectivity area, make supported scans and updates offline, then sync after reconnecting.

Can Asset Panda track lab equipment and calibrated instruments alongside samples?

Yes. Track location, assignment, condition, maintenance, calibration dates, and certificates for field kits, lab equipment, and other supporting assets alongside samples.

Does Asset Panda replace analytical instruments or specialized scientific software?

No. Asset Panda focuses on sample custody, workflows, documentation, supporting asset records, and audit trails. Specialized analytical systems can remain in place; validate any required data exchange for the specific system.

Can Asset Panda connect mining or scientific data to other systems?

Asset Panda offers APIs and supported integrations for approved data exchange. Its REST API can support GIS workflows for asset and location data. Validate specific LIMS, analytical system, field, and data-direction requirements before implementation.

Can Asset Panda flag sample review and expiration dates?

Yes. Use date fields, saved views, and notifications to surface samples needing review or approaching expiration dates. Teams define the timing that fits their process.
