IAES Industrial Asset Event Standard nodes for n8n — emit, validate, and track lifecycle of industrial asset events.

Part of IAES

The standard ships as four packages that version together. The first two
numbers of a package version are the specification it implements — 2.0.x
implements IAES 2.0.

Runtime Package Install
TypeScript / JavaScript @iaes/sdk npm install @iaes/sdk
Python iaes pip install iaes
Node-RED node-red-contrib-iaes npm install node-red-contrib-iaes
n8n n8n-nodes-iaes npm install n8n-nodes-iaes

Specification, JSON Schemas and governance: iaes.dev.

Nodes

IAES Emit

Create any IAES v2.0 event type with a visual form:

  • Asset Health — AI diagnosis, severity, condition trend, ISO 13374 status
  • Asset Measurement — sensor readings (vibration, temperature, current, etc.)
  • Work Order Intent — maintenance work order creation intent
  • Maintenance Completion — work order completion acknowledgment
  • Sensor Registration — sensor discovery and lifecycle
  • Spare Part Usage — parts consumed during maintenance

IAES Validate

Validate incoming JSON against the IAES spec. Two outputs:

  • Valid — events that pass envelope + schema validation
  • Invalid — events that fail, with detailed error messages

Supports strict mode for event-type-specific field validation.

IAES Lifecycle

Incident state machine that tracks onset → escalation → recovery:

  • Output 1 (Onset/Escalation) — new incidents or severity increases
  • Output 2 (Recovery) — incident resolved after N consecutive OK readings
  • Output 3 (Suppressed) — same-severity readings (optional output)

Uses correlation_id for incident tracking. State persists across executions via n8n workflow static data.

Installation

In n8n, go to Settings → Community Nodes and install:

n8n-nodes-iaes

Or via npm:

npm install n8n-nodes-iaes

Credentials

Configure IAES API credentials with:

  • HTTP — endpoint URL + API key (for REST ingest)
  • MQTT — broker URL + credentials (for MQTT publish)

Example Workflows

PLC → MQTT → n8n → IAES (Quickstart)

Most integrators start here: "Where does my PLC fit?"

┌─────────┐  MQTT   ┌──────────────┐        ┌───────────┐        ┌──────────┐
│  PLC /  │───────→│ MQTT Trigger │──────→│ IAES Emit │──────→│ HTTP Req │
│  SCADA  │ topic:  │ (n8n built-in)│  JSON  │ (this pkg)│  POST  │ your API │
└─────────┘ plc/    └──────────────┘        └───────────┘        └──────────┘
            data

Your PLC publishes raw readings to an MQTT topic. n8n picks them up and wraps them in a standards-compliant IAES envelope:

MQTT topic: site-01/plc/compressor-04/vibration
Payload:    { "value": 4.2, "unit": "mm/s" }

In the IAES Emit node, map the PLC fields:

IAES Emit Field n8n Expression
Event Type asset.measurement
Asset ID ={{ $json.topic.split('/')[2] }} — e.g. compressor-04
Source plc.site-01
Measurement Type vibration_velocity
Value ={{ $json.message.value }} — e.g. 4.2
Unit ={{ $json.message.unit }} — e.g. mm/s

The output is a full IAES v2.0 envelope ready for any IAES-compatible receiver.

Works with: Allen-Bradley, Siemens S7 (via MQTT gateway), Modbus TCP (via Node-RED bridge), OPC-UA publishers, any device that can write to MQTT.

Predictive Maintenance Pipeline

Webhook → IAES Validate → IAES Lifecycle → IF Onset → IAES Emit (Work Order Intent)

Energy Anomaly Detection

Schedule → HTTP Request (meter API) → IAES Emit (Health) → IAES Lifecycle → Slack Alert

Multi-CMMS Fan-out

MQTT Trigger → IAES Validate → IAES Lifecycle → Switch (severity)
  → high/critical: SAP PM + Email
  → medium: MaintainX
  → low: Log only
