Loki: a proven foundation for your software

Your process calls for a solution of its own. Many of the functions underneath are familiar: signing in, recording data, finding changes and producing reports.

We have already built that base. Loki is the Stroetenga software foundation, with reusable building blocks for radiological applications. That lets us focus our development on your way of working, your equipment and your specific questions.

Loki supports applications on the desktop, in the browser and on phone and tablet. Which parts we use depends on your process.

Why we build on a foundation

Building on practical experience

Loki is actively developed and supported, and runs in dozens of systems and services, from transport lines to source registers.

Familiar operation

Shared functions for signing in, language choice and record history make applications recognisable to their users.

Knowledge of radiation work

Calculations for radioactive decay and dose rate are part of the foundation. Systems on Loki link that knowledge to equipment and records.

What it means for you

Easy to use

Screens that behave the same everywhere, in Dutch or English and extendable with other languages, where the work happens.

Control and accountability

Every record keeps who changed what and when, and every change to the software follows a recorded route.

Long-term certainty

We maintain the foundation ourselves, with a fixed route for maintenance and releases. That keeps your software usable when equipment or requirements change.

One foundation, every environment

Loki is not one program but a family of libraries for every environment your software runs in.

Server

Services that process, exchange and monitor data in the background.

Desktop

Applications for the office and the laboratory.

Phone and tablet

Recording at the workplace, also on the move.

Web

Portals and web applications, tailored to users and their work.

Standalone tools

Apps and tools that work on their own, without a full system around them.

Data storage

One consistent way to record data and its history.

Developed once, valuable again and again

A source register has to determine the activity of a source on a chosen date. In waste management you want to know when the activity falls below a limit. Different questions, with the same physics underneath.

In Loki these applications share the same building blocks for radioactive decay. We connect them to the records, checks and process steps your work requires. That way we focus our development on your application, while the calculation base is already there.

The approach goes beyond calculations. Data management, reports and interfaces also build on shared facilities. What we learn and improve, we can carry over, under control, to later applications and releases.

Your question / Solved in general / Set up for you / Ready for later projects

What is already in the foundation

These facilities are available within Loki. For each application we decide which functions are needed and how they are used.

Security and sign-in

One central sign-in for your systems, with your company account where you have one. Accounts, roles and a lock after repeated failed attempts are standard.

Multilingual operation

Screens switch language while you work. Dutch and English are the base, extendable with a language of your choice, such as German, French or Spanish. Adding a language is translation work, not development.

Instruments and other systems

Systems on Loki read detectors, scanners, dosimeter readers and RFID directly, and connect to other software over their own interface.

Ask about it →
Radiation physics

Decay, waiting times, distance and dose rate from one shared set of formulas, not retyped in every system.

Ask about it →
Reports and mail

Reports for management and regulators, and notification mail from templates that can be adjusted per system.

Ask about it →
Several organisations, one system

Departments or organisations side by side on one installation, each in its own portal.

Fundamental principles

Four principles apply to every system we build on Loki.

History on every record

Every record keeps who created and changed it; earlier versions stay available. That is the base, not an option per project.

Standardised installation

Every installation is set up the same way, and every release carries a code that says exactly what it contains.

Quality documents as standard

Every system comes with quality documents as standard, in a fixed structure.

Testing as a fixed part

Automated screen tests are part of the development process and record their results.

Built-in capabilities

Around Loki sit central services that applications connect to as needed. Some of them are still in development.

Frequently asked questions about Loki

Do we buy Loki separately?

No. Loki comes with every system we build; improvements reach you through your maintenance releases.

How does qualification work?

We write the protocols and carry out IQ and OQ; your quality department approves, verifies and carries out PQ in its own process.

Can Loki connect to our systems?

We look at the interfaces of your equipment and software, and design the connection from there.

What happens at an upgrade?

Every release goes to your acceptance environment first, and to production only after your sign-off.

How are maintenance and continuity arranged?

We maintain Loki ourselves; maintenance of your system is laid down in an agreement.

Is this the Loki our IT department knows?

No. Grafana Loki is a log system that happens to share the name.

What could Loki mean for your process?

Tell us which activities, equipment and systems you want to connect. Then we discuss which existing building blocks fit and what your application needs in addition.
