Genoa installed a wireless sensor network on three city viadots, the system was built by Displaid, a spin‑off from Politecnico di Milano. The technology provides real‑time structural health data, allowing authorities to shift from reactive to predictive maintenance, which can reduce costs and increase safety. Genoa municipal authorities, Displaid (the ex‑startup), and Politecnico di Milano as the originating research institution. The city plans to extend the sensor coverage to additional bridges and explore data‑driven maintenance contracts, while Displaid seeks to commercialize the solution in other Italian municipalities. The city of Genoa has activated a wireless sensor system on three of its viadots, developed by the former Politecnico di Milano startup Displaid. The network continuously streams structural data to an AI platform that flags early signs of wear or damage. By enabling preventive maintenance, the initiative aims to lower long‑term repair costs and improve public safety. It also highlights Italy’s growing capability to export smart‑city technologies.
