About
LEAF (Lightweight Equipment Adapter Framework) is open-source software from Wageningen University & Research for collecting data and metadata directly from research equipment such as bioreactors and other lab instruments. For each type of equipment an adapter reads the manufacturer's output, converts it into one common structure (InfluxDB line protocol by default) and sends it via MQTT to an endpoint you choose, so data are available while an experiment runs instead of being exported by hand afterwards. LEAF is installed as a desktop app or as a Python package, and ready-made adapters are listed in an online marketplace. The optional OAK backend (MQTT broker, time-series database and Grafana dashboards) can be run yourself or as a managed service.
