Free equipment maintenance software that tracks every machine and its history
Keep an asset register, a per-machine maintenance history, a PM schedule, and a work order board in one browser tab, with each machine carrying its own OEE and downtime context. No account, no time limit, and your data stays on your device.
The short answer
- Open the free equipment maintenance tracker at oee-tracker.html, no account and no time limit.
- Add every machine to the asset register, then log its PMs, work orders, and breakdowns against that asset so each one carries its own history.
- Log a shift and each machine gets its own OEE breakdown and downtime Pareto, so you can see which equipment eats the most run time.
- When you need automatic PLC capture, computer-vision micro-stop true-cause, and a closed loop from loss to work order, that is the point to book a Fabrico demo.
Ask a maintenance team where a specific machine stands and you often get three answers: a binder of PM sheets, a shared spreadsheet, and someone's memory. The free equipment maintenance tracker at OEE Lab pulls all of that into one place. Add every machine to the asset register, then log its preventive maintenance, its work orders, and its breakdowns against that asset, so each piece of equipment carries its own maintenance history instead of scattering across notebooks. No signup, no time limit, and everything stays in your browser.
This is not a stripped-down demo. It is a full, standalone toolkit built around the machine: an asset register, a recurring PM schedule that flags the day each service comes due, a work order board, plus a per-machine OEE breakdown and downtime Pareto so you can see which equipment is quietly eating the most run time. Pull any of it out as CSV or JSON whenever you want, and open it on a shop-floor tablet in any browser.
Where it stops is honest: you enter every shift and every job by hand, you decide the cause of each stop yourself, and it all lives on one device in one browser. That is plenty to get one plant's equipment history under control, and it is exactly the point where a platform like Fabrico takes over once machines need automatic PLC data capture and the closed loop that turns each loss into a work order. We lay out that trade-off plainly further down.
What you get, free
Asset register for every machine
Add each line, cell, and standalone machine to a single register, so your whole equipment list lives in one place instead of a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Per-machine maintenance history
Every PM, work order, and breakdown you log is tied to a specific asset, so any machine's full service history is one click away when you need it.
Recurring PM schedule
Set a preventive-maintenance interval per machine and the schedule flags the day each service is due, so routine care stops slipping through the cracks.
Work order board
Raise a work order against the machine it belongs to, move it across open, in progress, and done, and keep the whole backlog visible to the shift.
Per-machine OEE and downtime Pareto
Log a shift and each machine gets its own OEE, availability, performance, and quality, plus a ranked downtime Pareto that shows where its lost time really goes.
CSV and JSON export
Export your asset list and full maintenance history as CSV or JSON whenever you want, and open the tracker on any shop-floor tablet in the browser, with your data staying on that device.
Log one shift and the free tracker shows your OEE, your loss Pareto and how you compare to world-class. Add work orders and preventive-maintenance reminders in the same place.
Where free stops, and Fabrico begins
The free tracker is built for getting started fast and for one plant on one device. When a site gets serious about its losses, the manual steps start to cost more than they save. This is exactly where Fabrico takes over.
| Capability | Free OEE Lab tracker | Fabrico |
|---|---|---|
| Data capture | You log each shift, PM, and work order by hand, and it stays in your browser. | Fabrico reads OEE straight off your PLCs, so equipment data is captured without manual entry. |
| Equipment history | Each machine's history is only as complete as what you remember to log against it. | Every PLC-read loss and auto-routed work order lands on the machine's record, so its history builds itself. |
| Micro-stop cause | You investigate short, under-five-minute stops yourself and note the reason on the machine. | Computer vision names the true cause of each micro-stop, with video evidence attached to the event. |
| Loss-to-fix loop | You spot the loss on a machine, then raise the work order for it yourself. | A detected loss on a machine becomes an auto-routed work order, closing the loop from OEE to action. |
| Scope and multi-site | One plant on one device and browser, best for a single site's equipment. | One EU-built platform keeps every machine's history in a single connected system. |
| Integrations | Standalone by design; export your data when you need it in another system. | The closed PLC-to-work-order loop feeds machine data into the rest of your stack. |
| Access and roles | A local sign-in adds people and roles, but only on that one device. | Roles and a full audit trail backed by ISO 27001, 20000-1, and 9001 certification. |
| Data residency | Your data never leaves the browser you enter it in, so it stays on your own device. | EU-built with EU data residency, backed by ISO 27001, 20000-1, and 9001 certification. |
| Reporting | Instant per-machine OEE, a downtime Pareto, and CSV/JSON export you run yourself. | Machine data captured from PLCs flows into live equipment reporting automatically. |
Frequently asked questions
Is this equipment maintenance software actually free, or a trial?
The tracker is free with no signup and no time limit. There is no credit card, no trial countdown, and no seat cap. Your asset register and maintenance history stay in your browser on the device you use.
Do I need an account to start?
No. Open the tracker, add your first machine to the asset register, and start logging its PMs and work orders right away. A local sign-in for people and roles is optional and stays on that one device.
How is this different from a spreadsheet of my equipment?
A spreadsheet holds a list, but you build the schedule reminders, the OEE math, and the history links yourself. The tracker ties every PM, work order, and breakdown to a specific machine automatically, flags PMs the day they come due, and gives each machine its own OEE and downtime Pareto, so the equipment history is structured instead of a flat sheet.
Can each machine keep its own maintenance history?
Yes, that is the point of the tool. Everything you log is attached to an asset, so any machine's full record of preventive maintenance, work orders, and breakdowns sits together and is one click away.
When do I need more than the free tool?
When manual logging every shift becomes the bottleneck, when you need machine data captured automatically from PLCs, when micro-stops need a real cause instead of a guess, or when each loss should become a work order on its own. That is the point to book a Fabrico demo.
Can I export my equipment and maintenance data?
Yes. The tracker exports to CSV and JSON at any time, so your asset register and full maintenance history are yours to take into a spreadsheet, another tool, or a Fabrico rollout.
When free is not enough, Fabrico is the upgrade
Once your asset register is full and every machine carries its own history, the free tracker has done its job: it proved the equipment data is worth keeping and got the team logging in one place. The next limit is different. It is manual entry eating time every shift, micro-stops nobody can spare hours to investigate, and losses that should turn into work orders on their own. Fabrico reads OEE straight off your PLCs, uses computer vision to name the true cause of each micro-stop with video evidence, and turns a detected loss into an auto-routed work order that lands on the right machine, all from an EU-built platform with EU data residency and controls that support audit-readiness against ISO 27001, 20000-1, and 9001. If that is where your equipment program is heading, book a Fabrico demo.
