Act Node Inc. will exhibit at the 7th Livestock Materials EXPO, held at Makuhari Messe from October 7 to October 9, 2026. The company will show an automatic opening and closing curtain that controls itself from livestock barn environmental data, described as the first installment of its Physical AI development. Act Node is working on the project under a national smart agriculture technology program, with work including weight estimation and poultry house environment control.
Act Node's Physical AI work covers weight estimation, quantification of the state of living organisms, and automatic control of poultry house environments, funded under an FY2025 national smart agriculture technology program. The curtain is the first installment of that work to be shown, and the booth will also include sensors and AI intended to cut daily workload for producers.
The company states that Act App has cut working hours by 20 percent. It expects Physical AI to reduce them by about 40 percent. The expo runs at Makuhari Messe from October 7 to October 9, 2026, in Hall 7, booth 22-31, with advance registration required.
