5 Best MP2 Alternatives for Manufacturing (2026 Review)

For two decades, MP2 was the gold standard of maintenance software.

It was robust, detailed, and reliable. Many Maintenance Managers ("Mike") built their careers on it.

But in 2026, it is worth checking what your MP2 setup still supports.

If you are ready to look at options, here are the 5 Best MP2 Alternatives for 2026.

1. Fabrico: The "Modern Successor"

Fabrico is listed first because it is our product.

Best For: Manufacturers who want to keep the reliability logic of MP2 but gain Mobile and OEE superpowers.

Fabrico is the natural evolution for MP2 users. We respect the data depth that MP2 offered, but we deliver it in a cloud-native platform that technicians actually enjoy using.

Why MP2 Users Switch to Fabrico:

• Safe Data Migration: We understand you have 20 years of asset history. Fabrico’s implementation team specializes in exporting MP2 databases, cleaning the data, and importing it into a modern hierarchy. You don't lose your history.

• Mobile apps: Fabrico runs on iOS, Android and Web, with QR scanners for parts and machines.

• Native OEE: MP2 tracked maintenance; Fabrico tracks manufacturing. We connect to your machine controllers to track speed and quality losses in real-time. A stoppage reason can be configured to open a maintenance task automatically.

• No IT Headaches: Fabrico is SaaS (Software as a Service). You don't need to manage servers, backups, or VPNs. We handle the security.

The Verdict: If you want mobile apps and a cloud platform without losing your engineering rigor, Fabrico is the choice.

2. Infor EAM (HxGN)

Best For: The "Official" Upgrade Path.

Infor EAM (now HxGN EAM) is an enterprise asset management system.

• Pros: It is extremely powerful. It has every feature MP2 had, plus thousands more. It is designed for massive enterprises with complex supply chains.

• Worth checking: Plan the migration and configuration effort for your plant size.

• The Difference: Infor is for the Global Enterprise; Fabrico is for the Agile Factory.

3. eMaint (Fluke)

Best For: Condition Monitoring enthusiasts.

eMaint has been a popular cloud alternative to MP2 for over a decade.

• Pros: Strong sensor integration (Fluke). If you used MP2 for calendar-based PMs and want to switch to condition-based monitoring (vibration/temperature), eMaint handles that data well.

• Worth checking: How its interface fits your technicians.

• The Difference: A solid cloud option, but less focused on production OEE than Fabrico.

4. Fiix (Rockwell Automation)

Best For: Rockwell hardware users.

Fiix offers a modern cloud experience with strong enterprise backing.

• Pros: Good AI reporting features ("Asset Risk Predictor"). It offers a significant upgrade in reporting capabilities.

• Worth checking: Plan the implementation effort for your team size.

• The Difference: A strong modern choice, particularly if you are already in the Rockwell ecosystem.

5. Limble CMMS

Best For: Teams who just want simplicity.

If your main complaint about MP2 is "It's too complicated," Limble is the antidote.

• Pros: The easiest interface on the market. It focuses on Work Order flow. Technicians pick it up instantly.

• Cons: It might feel "too light" for power users of MP2 who rely on deep nested asset hierarchies and complex inventory costing methods. It is less focused on the native OEE layer.

• The Difference: Limble simplifies the workflow; Fabrico modernizes the workflow while keeping the data depth.

Summary: Which One Fits

• Choose Infor if you want an enterprise EAM.

• Choose Limble if you want to simplify everything.

• Choose Fabrico if you want to Modernize. If you want to keep your rich asset history but unlock the power of Mobile, OEE, and Digital Safety, Fabrico is the upgrade you have been waiting for.
