VusionGroup — 13 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- VusionGroup is registered to MAC prefix
18:FB:8Eand 12 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with18:FB:8E, that block was registered by VusionGroup — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- 13-block MA-L footprint under one org name plus documented ESL product line and FCC filings clears the multi-signal substance bar for a single-vendor OUI entry.
About this vendor.
VusionGroup GmbH holds 13 MA-L (24-bit) OUI blocks registered under the organization name "VusionGroup," the company formerly known as SES-imagotag / Store Electronic Systems before its 2024 rebrand, following the 2014 alliance with Austrian firm imagotag GmbH. Twelve of the thirteen blocks register to the same Fernitz-Mellach, Austria address (Kalsdorfer Straße 12), consistent with a single manufacturing/engineering site; one block, BC:A1:3A, registers to a separate Graz address, likely an earlier or distinct filing rather than a data error. VusionGroup is a genuine, identifiable Retail IoT company — the global leader in electronic shelf labels (ESL), the small battery-powered e-paper price tags used by major retailers including Carrefour, Colruyt, Edeka, Lidl, and Walmart. FCC equipment-authorization filings for named ESL products (EDG3-0290-B, EDG3-0350-B, EDG5-0210-A) corroborate the hardware context under the VusionGroup GmbH name. The 13-block OUI footprint plus documented product line and FCC filings clear the multi-signal substance bar this pipeline applies to single-vendor OUI entries — this is not a bare shell registration.
- IEEE assignment
- 13 MA-L prefixes → "VusionGroup" [Confirmed] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry

- Kalsdorfer Straße 12, Fernitz-Mellach, Steiermark, AT 8072 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Address discrepancy
- BC:A1:3A registers to St.-Peter-Gürtel 10b, Graz, AT 8010 — a different address from the other 12 blocks, most likely an earlier/separate filing rather than a duplicate or data error [Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry (line 38498 vs. surrounding lines)

- Allocated / registration dates
- Unknown — IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry publishes only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, and Organization Address, with no date column; no date is attributed to IEEE for any VusionGroup prefix. Third-party "date registered" values (e.g. macverify.com, which returned HTTP 403 on verification attempt) are database artifacts, not IEEE facts[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry schema

- Analyst note
- 13 separate MA-L blocks under one org name/address, plus a documented, named product line (ESL) and FCC filings, is well above the bare single-OUI shell threshold — treat as a substantive vendor entry, not a thin registration.
