Optimizing laboratory processes. Ensuring quality results.
CCLAS, the leading laboratory information management system (LIMS) for mining
and metal processing, provides a wide range of tools to help laboratories
optimize their processes and ensure quality results.
CCLAS automates analytical laboratory processes and includes:
- Sample registration
- Barcode label printing
- Worklist generation
- Online data capture from a wide range of analytical instruments
- Automatic reporting of results
- Sample tracking
- Quality control and monitoring products against specifications using
built-in statistical process control (SPC) charts
- Monitoring and managing the use of consumables as well as equipment
calibration and maintenance schedules
Ventyx CCLAS is in use by major mining companies and commercial testing
laboratories world-wide across a wide range of operations, from simple
stand-alone systems through to complex global multi-site systems running on a
central application server across a wide area network or via the Internet.

CCLAS enables high volume, complex analytical laboratory data to be captured,
calculated and stored with utmost confidence and reported to the client
efficiently and on time.
The solution enables a laboratory, or group of laboratories, to standardize and
streamline processing - from sample registration, through the sample processing
life cycle, to the generation of high quality analytical reports - improving
efficiency and reducing cost.
The result is a single system that:
- Provides a global view of all facilities and regional capabilities, enabling
equipment usage to be maximized through resource sharing and load balancing.
- Minimizes labour costs and improves data accuracy through increased
laboratory automation, a reduction in manual data entry and elimination of
stand-alone data storage, e.g. via spreadsheets.
- Enables effective business intelligence and corporate data mining by
providing a single comprehensive and standardized system.
- Enables mining operations to meet increasing regulatory compliance and
auditing requirements by ensuring control of the quality of the results
generated through the built-in QC and auditing process.
By automating these critical processes, CCLAS:
- Increases sample analysis rates
- Reduces sample turnaround times
- Provides real-time management data
- Enables better understanding of laboratory operations by management
- Dramatically improves quality by identifying potential problems before they
are reported, enabling technicians to more rapidly investigate and address these
problems
- Integrates the laboratory to other plant systems
