项目摘要

Protecting Home & Personal Care products (such as laundry detergents, shampoos and cosmetics) from problematic microbes is a critical factor in the design of products, manufacturing systems and integrated supply chains.The industry is increasingly seeking to introduce new, more biodegradable materials, reduce environmental footprints and increase the agility and resilience of these supply chains. However, current microbiology-based test methods for assuring product quality are too slow and lacking in diagnostic power to catalyse these supply chain transformations.ARGUS aims to create a real-time measurement solution to detect microbes at key points across the supply chain, and identify pinch points in production systems for targeted cleaning where microbial accumulation is more likely to occur. No longer reliant on offline testing, these instantaneous measures of material quality and supply chain health could combine to create digital Certificates of Analysis enabling frictionless movement of materials, lower cost operation, and acceleration of innovative new products to market.This Feasibility Study will evaluate the potential of three Industrial Digital Technologies to enable this transformation -- sensors for in-line microbial count across the supply chain, sensors for material accumulation points in static production systems, and digital Certificates of Analysis. Taking an established UK Home & Personal Care supply chain as a case study, it will characterise critical supply chain design criteria, assess potential value of these new technologies and propose a path through Industrial Research to market. It supports UK Government strategy to increase adoption of and create markets for Industrial Digital Technologies, amplify supply chain collaborations between larger and smaller companies, and increase resilience and sustainability of operations, ultimately helping to meet the UK's 2050 Net Carbon Zero target.

保护家庭和个人护理产品（例如洗衣清洁剂，洗发水和化妆品）免受有问题的微生物的侵害，是产品，制造系统和集成供应链的设计的关键因素。该行业越来越多地寻求引入新的，更可生物降解的材料，减少环境足迹并增加这些供应链的稳定性和弹性。但是，当前基于微生物学的测试方法用于确保产品质量太慢且缺乏诊断能力，无法催化这些供应链转换。Argus旨在创建一种实时测量解决方案，以检测供应链中的关键点的微生物，并确定生产系统中的Pinch Points in Partitioned Cleanting Pointed Cleanting Microbial积累的可能性更大。 No longer reliant on offline testing, these instantaneous measures of material quality and supply chain health could combine to create digital Certificates of Analysis enabling frictionless movement of materials, lower cost operation, and acceleration of innovative new products to market.This Feasibility Study will evaluate the potential of three Industrial Digital Technologies to enable this transformation -- sensors for in-line microbial count across the supply chain, sensors for material accumulation points in static production systems, and digital分析证书。以建立的英国家庭和个人护理供应链为案例研究，它将表征关键供应链设计标准，评估这些新技术的潜在价值，并提出通过工业研究的途径到市场。它支持英国政府的战略，以增加对工业数字技术的采用并创造市场，扩大较大和小型公司之间的供应链合作，并提高运营的弹性和可持续性，最终有助于实现英国2050年的2050净碳零目标。
