ABB Robotics — E0:02:A5 (MA-L)

ABB Robotics holds a single MA-L OUI, E0:02:A5, registered to a Hydrovägen 10, Västerås, SE 721 68 address per the cached IEEE MA-L registry. Unlike a bare single-OUI shell registrant, ABB Robotics carries clear identifiable-company substance: it is the robotics division of ABB Group, with concrete product/device context tied to the IRC5, IRC5C, and IRCP robot-controller families and their supporting software (RobotWare, RobotStudio, the PC SDK, WebWare), and an active, large current operating footprint — roughly 1,300 employees at its Västerås site, plus a newly announced roughly $280M European Robotics Campus set to break ground there and open in late 2026. A Swedish corporate-registry lookup surfaces two "ABB Robotics AB, Västerås" entity numbers, both listed as terminated on Northdata — most plausibly reflecting ABB's routine internal legal-entity restructuring rather than the robotics business itself being defunct, though which currently-active legal entity actually holds this specific OUI registration could not be confirmed. ABB Robotics also sits alongside numerous sibling ABB Group entities that independently hold other OUI/MAC prefixes already cataloged in this repository (ABB AB Cewe-Control, ABB Power T&D, ABB S.p.A./ABB SACE Div., ABB Power Systems Power Generation, ABB Global Industries and Services Private Limited), reinforcing that this is part of a substantial multi-entity industrial group rather than an anonymous single-block registrant. No device-specific packet-capture or security-advisory corroboration ties directly to the E0:02:A5 prefix itself, though CISA has published multiple ICS advisories against the broader IRC5-era Robot Communications Runtime / WebWare / RobotStudio software stack that this controller family runs.

OUI prefix / registry class

E0:02:A5, MA-L (24-bit, full /24 block) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, line 33432

Organization

ABB Robotics [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, line 33432

Registered address

Hydrovägen 10, Västerås, SE 721 68 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, line 33432

Date registered (IEEE)

Unknown — IEEE's public MA-L data (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) publishes no assignment/registration date; no third-party "date registered" artifact was even surfaced for this specific prefix, so nothing is being suppressed here — the field is genuinely unverifiable.

Company substance / product context

IRC5, IRC5C, and IRCP robot controllers plus RobotWare, RobotStudio, PC SDK, and WebWare software; active Västerås operating site (~1,300 employees) with a ~$280M European Robotics Campus announced 2025 and slated to open late 2026 [Likely] — https://new.abb.com/news/detail/107115/abb-to-invest-280-million-in-its-european-robotics-hub-in-sweden, https://evertiq.com/news/2025-06-17-abb-breaks-ground-on-new-robotics-campus-in-sweden

Corporate registry caveat

two Bolagsverket (Swedish registry) entity numbers found for "ABB Robotics AB, Västerås" — 5560041070 and 5560267857 — both marked terminated on Northdata; consistent with ABB's frequent internal legal-entity restructuring rather than the business being defunct, but which currently-active legal entity holds the OUI registration is Unknown, not guessed [Likely] — https://www.northdata.com/Abb+Robotics+AB,+V%C3%A4ster%C3%A5s/ON+5560041070, https://www.northdata.com/ABB%20Robotics%20AB,%20V%C3%A4ster%C3%A5s/ON%205560267857

Related vendors / parent group

robotics division of ABB Group; sibling entities independently hold other OUI/MAC prefixes already cataloged in this repo [Confirmed — corroborated within this repo's own entries] — /mac/vendor/abb-cewe-control/, /mac/vendor/abb-power-td/, /mac/vendor/abb-abb-sace-div/, /mac/vendor/abb-power-systems-power-generation/, /mac/vendor/abb-global-industries-and-services-private.CHECK/

Device-type corroboration

an ABB robotics user-forum thread confirms IRC5 controllers expose distinct network interfaces ("lan-device" vs "service lan device") queryable by MAC address via the PC SDK, consistent with E0:02:A5 being used on networked IRC5-family controller hardware, though the thread does not itself cite a specific MAC/OUI value

Security context (software family, not device-specific)

CISA has published ICS advisories against the Robot Communications Runtime (affecting PC SDK, RobotStudio, PickMaster, and the IRC5 OPC Server supporting IRC5/IRC5C/IRCP), against WebWare Server, and against RobotStudio/Test Signal Viewer — these are controller-family/software-level advisories, not corroboration tied specifically to the E0:02:A5 prefix [Likely] — https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ics/advisories/ICSA-12-059-01, https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-12-095-01a, https://cisa.gov/uscert/ics/advisories/ICSA-14-308-01

Device-specific security corroboration

Unknown — no packet-capture writeups, forum threads, or advisories were found tying the E0:02:A5 prefix itself (as opposed to the ABB robotics software family generally) to a named device or incident [Unknown] — no citation (absence confirmed across searched sources)
