Many manufacturing industries are seeking to make biodegradable products and/or use natural, bio-sourced, ingredients, while minimising the use of chemical preservatives. However, protecting these products from problematic microbes (such as bacteria, yeasts and mould) is a major challenge.ARGUS (Digit**a**l Cont**r**ol of Microbes for Resilient FMC**G** S**u**pply Chain**s**), aims to create a digital solution to improve the management of microbial contamination across UK manufacturing supply chains.Microbial contamination can be introduced at many stages across the supply chain; including raw materials supply, during manufacturing processes, in storage, and during transport between manufacturing sites. If left unchecked, microbes can build up in process fluids and on pipework and containers, creating manufacturing problems, corrosion, spoiling materials and potentially leading to expensive product withdrawals and recalls. At worst, this can lead to adverse health impacts for the manufacturing workforce and consumers.Today, microbial management is expensive and time-consuming and depends on using chemical preservatives/biocides, regular cleaning and taking samples at multiple points for lab testing. Often materials are held awaiting microbial test results, reducing productivity and efficiency.The ARGUS Phase 2 (Industrial Research) project will develop and demonstrate a new digital solution that is able to measure and share levels of microbial contamination **directly in place** across an end-to-end manufacturing supply chain. This innovation will reduce manufacturing and shipping delays, provide early-warning of problems, and help supply chain partners to develop new, safe and sustainable, bio-product formulations with reduced levels of preservatives.The project outputs will be evaluated within an existing UK Home & Personal Care (HPC) product supply chain. New direct inline microbial digital sensor prototypes will be developed and evaluated within multiple manufacturing and bulk transport locations, including within tanker trucks. Relevant data will be collected, shared and analysed in a First-of-a-Kind digital platform for microbial health monitoring, management and assurance.The project will lay the groundwork for the future commercial investment, development and deployment of ARGUS in Home and Personal Care product manufacturing supply chains. Importantly, the innovation will have potential application across many other UK supply chains, including food and drinks, paints and coatings, pharma, and biofuel, where microbial health management is also a growing cost and concern.

许多制造业正在寻求生产可生物降解的产品和/或使用天然，生物制造的成分，同时最大程度地减少使用化学防腐剂的使用。但是，保护这些产品免受有问题的微生物（例如细菌，酵母和霉菌）是一个主要挑战。Argus（数字** a ** a ** a ** l cont ** r ** r ** ol ** r ** ol ** ol ** ol ** ol for microbes for弹性fmc ** g ** g ** s ** s ** u ** u ** u ** u ** pply链** S **），旨在在数字化方案中建立一个数字化解决方案，以跨越数字化的解决方案。在整个供应链中的许多阶段都引入；包括原材料供应，在制造过程，存储中以及在制造地点之间的运输过程中。如果不受限制地检查，微生物可以在过程流体，管道和容器上积聚，从而产生制造问题，腐蚀，变质材料以及可能导致昂贵的产品提取和召回。最糟糕的是，这可能会对制造业劳动力和消费者产生不利的健康影响。图案，微生物管理昂贵且耗时，并且取决于使用化学防腐剂/杀生物剂，定期清洁和在多个点进行样品进行实验室测试。通常，材料会等待微生物测试结果，降低生产率和效率。Argus第2阶段（工业研究）项目将开发和展示一种新的数字解决方案，该解决方案能够在端到端制造供应链中直接测量和共享微生物污染的水平** **。这项创新将减少制造和运输延迟，提供问题的早期培训，并有助于供应链合作伙伴开发新的，安全和可持续的生物产品配方，并降低了防腐剂的水平。将在现有的英国家庭和个人护理（HPC）产品供应链中评估项目产出。将在多个制造和散装运输位置（包括油轮卡车内）开发和评估新的直接内线微生物数字传感器原型。相关数据将被收集，共享和分析，以用于微生物健康监测，管理和保证的第一个数字平台。该项目将为未来的商业投资，Argus在家庭和个人护理产品制造供应链中的商业投资，开发和部署奠定基础。重要的是，这项创新将在许多其他英国供应链中进行潜在的应用，包括食品和饮料，油漆和涂料，制药和生物燃料，在这些供应链中，微生物健康管理也越来越多。
