Startup Dymond develops software to analyze structural monitoring data in real time
Understanding in real time how bridges, buildings, and civil infrastructures behave, in order to detect anomalies and act before they become critical issues. This is the goal of the project developed by Dymond, a startup founded by a team from the Politecnico di Milano and led by Marco Pirrò.
The solution consists of software capable of analyzing data from monitoring systems installed on structures, with the aim of continuously assessing the health of the infrastructure.
Data analysis and anomaly detection
By processing data collected from sensors, the system can determine whether an anomaly is caused by an actual structural issue or by a malfunction of the sensors themselves.
This makes it possible to distinguish between situations that require urgent technical intervention and simple measurement errors.
This distinction is crucial from both an operational and economic perspective: accurately identifying the source of the problem helps reduce costs related to inspections and on-site interventions, which often require specialized teams and technical equipment.
Recognition at StartCup Lombardia 2025
The project is among the winners of StartCup Lombardia 2025, where it received the award for sustainable and safe construction, along with a financial prize of 25,000 euros.
For the startup team, the award is an important opportunity to accelerate development and bring the technology closer to real-world applications in the infrastructure sector.
As highlighted by Marco Pirrò, the recognition is an incentive to turn the project into a solution capable of addressing needs related to monitoring, predictive maintenance, and safety of civil works.
From research to infrastructure innovation
Technologies like the one developed by Dymond show the potential of integrating sensors, data analysis, and advanced software to improve infrastructure management.
Initiatives such as StartCup Lombardia and the Startup Days, co-organized by MUSA – Multilayered Urban Sustainability Action, support this transition by transforming research projects into startups capable of driving innovation in strategic sectors such as infrastructure safety and management.
