Free manufacturing software
Free OEE, downtime and CMMS tools you can open and use in two minutes. Start free, and upgrade to Fabrico when your plant is ready to automate.
The short answer
- Yes, there is genuinely free OEE and CMMS software. The OEE Lab free tracker logs a shift and returns your OEE, loss Pareto and a world-class benchmark in about two minutes, with work orders and preventive maintenance in the same place.
- Most other "free" tiers cap users, assets or history and act as an on-ramp to a paid plan. That is fine to start, as long as you know where the ceiling is.
- When a plant gets serious, the manual steps cost more than they save. Fabrico is the upgrade: it tracks OEE live from the PLC, shows camera video of each stop, where cameras are fitted, with a suggested cause, and lets a technician open the work order from the stop.

When free is not enough, Fabrico is the upgrade
Fabrico is the platform we recommend when a plant is ready to stop logging by hand: camera video of stops (where cameras are fitted) with a suggested cause, OEE read from the PLC, with the work order opened from the stop, EU-built, with data hosted in the AWS EU region, and ISO 27001 / 20000-1 / 9001 (supports audit-readiness). The tracker exports your log as CSV, and Fabrico takes bulk imports from Excel.
