AS WE MOVED FROM THE TRADITIONAL LONG RUNS TO SHORT RUNS AND QDC TO SATISFY OUR CUSTOMERS' JIT PROGRAMS, THE CONVENTIONAL DIE PROTECTION SYSTEMS WERE TURNED OFF OR DISCONNECTED AS NOT NEEDED OR DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO MAKE THEM WORK. MEANWHILE, DIES ARE STILL CRASHING, SCRAP IS BEING PRODUCED BECAUSE OF NOT DETECTING BROKEN PUNCHES, ETC. THANKS TO TECHNOLOGY, A REVIVAL OF DIE PROTECTION THAT CAN COEXIST WITH JIT.
