Tool control program system and method of tool control

A system configured to capture real-time data of one or more critical data points relating to each production tool associated with a respective designated user, the system comprising:

• one or more devices connected to a data management software via a network and comprising a camera capable of scanning a QR code or RFID tag, the data management software configured to log a user code into the data management software from the respective QR code or RFID tag associated with each designated user, the data management software configured to log into the data management software an asset code from the respective QR code or RFID tag associated with each production tool, wherein the asset code of each respective production tool corresponds to an asset number, and the user code associated with the designated user corresponds to a designated user number;
• wherein each asset code scanned an initial time by the one or more devices associates the asset number with the designated user number input into the data management software as an issuance critical data point in the data management software in real-time by at least date and time;
• wherein each asset code optionally scanned an intermediate time by the one or more devices associates the asset number with the designated user number as an event critical data point in the data management software in real-time by at least date and time;
• and
• wherein each asset code scanned a final time by the one or more devices associates the asset number with the designated user number as a return critical data point in the data management software in real-time by at least date and time.
