AutoTech Manufacturing

The Challenge

AutoTech Manufacturing operates 15,000+ factory sensors across multiple automated assembly lines. Their entire robotic operation depends on Azure IoT Hub to coordinate manufacturing sequences in real-time.

However, they faced a recurring nightmare: Expired SAS Tokens and Certificates. Because Azure IoT Hub requires strict security credentials that expire on schedules, AutoTech would frequently suffer unplanned assembly line stoppages when a critical sensor's credentials lapsed unnoticed.

Why IoTHubX?

AutoTech realized that basic telemetry monitoring wasn't enough; they needed Continuous Security Posture auditing.

IoTHubX was the only platform that provided out-of-the-box security scanning for Azure IoT environments. It actively monitors device twin connections and audits the lifecycle of all active SAS tokens across the fleet.

The Results

After implementing IoTHubX's Security Posture dashboards, AutoTech:

• Achieved 100% compliance monitoring across their entire fleet of factory sensors.
• Eliminated security-related outages entirely by utilizing predictive alerts 30 days before certificate expiration.
• Streamlined SOC2 compliance by exporting IoTHubX's immutable audit logs directly to their security team.

"A single minute of downtime costs us thousands of dollars. By proactively warning us about expiring credentials, IoTHubX paid for itself on the very first day."
