Abstract: The present invention is a system and method that allows only authorized users to turn on specific equipment they are approved to use and maintains a record of the name of the user, date, time and length of operating time. In one embodiment, the system comprises an AMS unit in communication with a BCS unit located at and connected to the machine. AMS comprises a computing device, a biometric reader connected with the computing device, a storage device connected with the computing device, a program module stored on the storage unit, and a communication module connected to the computing device. The program module has sets of code configured to instruct the biometric reader to scan the biometric feature of the operator and to create a digitized biometric signature. The program module is further configured to store the biometric signature on the storage device.
