Food product processing device, food product processing device management system, and food product processing device management method

A food-processing device management system that manages a plurality of food-processing devices that process a food in a line in which the food is manufactured, the food-processing device management system comprising:

• a biometric information acquisition part that acquires biometric information of users of the food-processing devices;
• one first storage part that correlates and stores, for each user, the biometric information and user identification information for uniquely identifying the user;
• a second storage part that stores executability information pertaining to a process the users can execute using the food-processing devices;
• an authentication part that authenticates the users in response to processing of the biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquisition part and the biometric information stored in the first storage part;
• and
• a management part that, in response to processing of the executability information stored in the second storage part, enables execution of the process performed by the food-processing devices for the users authenticated by the authentication part,
• the biometric information being information of the user's iris included in the image of the user's eye.

A food-processing device management method for managing a plurality of food-processing devices that process a food, the food-processing device management method comprising:

• acquiring biometric information of users of the food-processing devices;
• correlating and storing, for each user, the biometric information and user identification information for uniquely identifying the user;
