Displaid

Displaid is a Milan-based deep tech startup founded in 2023 by four PhD researchers from Politecnico di Milano, specializing in scalable structural health monitoring for bridges and viaducts. The company's solution combines wireless smart sensors with proprietary AI algorithms to provide continuous, automated monitoring of infrastructure — transforming raw sensor data into actionable daily structural insights through its Iris platform. Displaid enables public administrations and private infrastructure operators to shift from emergency-based maintenance to data-driven, condition-based predictive maintenance. Its wireless sensor systems can be installed without disrupting traffic and at costs approximately 70% lower than traditional cabled approaches. Displaid was ranked by MIT as a top AI startup to watch and has active deployments with municipalities including Genova and the Città Metropolitana di Firenze.
