What happens when you combine horizontal machining, smart automation, and next-level digital monitoring? You get a manufacturing cell that never sleeps—and a team that always stays ahead.

From tool life tracking and remote alerts to hot job-ready pallet flexibility, this isn’t just about making parts—it’s about making money while you sleep (or fish).

In this epic conversation, Tony Gunn of MTDCNC sits down with Mark Christopher of DN Solutions to break down:
Why horizontal machining is a game-changer.
How automation bridges the skills gap AND boosts output.
What makes DN’s DPMS software your new favorite co-worker.
And the best part… how it literally keeps you productive while you’re on a boat!

Tune in for one of the most practical and eye-opening automation deep-dives we’ve filmed yet. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably want to call Mark!
