abstract = "This paper implements a smart squeezing prevention system to secure the safety of table lift operators. A squeezing accident is an accident in which a worker is caught between an upper structure and a table lift in the process of using an aerial platform. The module implemented to prevent this periodically measures the distance between the lift and the upper structure using a ToF sensor. If the measured distance is shorter than the set value, it is judged to be a risk of squeezing and then a control signal is transmitted to stop the lift ascent. To secure higher system stability, the system is composed of 2 to 4 sensor modules, and information is exchanged between modules through WiFi communication. As a result of installing and operating the 4 modules on the table lift, it was confirmed that the smart squeezing prevention system operated stably."
