Enhancing Coal Lab Operations at Hindalco Lapanga with Revol LIMS

Executive Summary

Hindalco Industries Ltd., a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, is a recognized leader in the global metals industry, committed to innovation and operational excellence, and in line with this vision, the company identified the Lapanga Coal Laboratory as a critical area for improvement due to its vital role in ensuring coal quality and consistency for operations. Previously, the laboratory relied on manual data entry and paper-based reporting, which were time-consuming, error-prone, difficult to audit, and inadequate to handle increasing sample volumes, thereby delaying test results and complicating compliance with internal and regulatory standards. To overcome these challenges, Hindalco implemented the Revol Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) at the Lapanga facility, automating and standardizing core functions such as sample tracking, test assignment, result recording, and report generation. This digital transformation streamlined workflows, enhanced speed, consistency, and reliability, while built-in compliance features safeguarded data integrity and audit readiness. The seamless deployment of Revol LIMS significantly reduced turnaround times, improved traceability across the testing cycle, and delivered measurable efficiency gains, marking an important milestone in Hindalco’s digital journey and reinforcing its commitment to quality, innovation, and technological leadership in the metal sector.
