Motorola U-PAD™ Packaging System

Compliance

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) patented thermoformed U-PAD™ cushions for Digital Control Terminals (DCT) reduce:
  • Packaging material
  • Shipping volume
  • Weight
  • Freight costs

Millions Saved Without Sacrifice

This packaging system has generated millions of dollars of savings at Motorola. Steps were taken to improve ergonomics, simplify the manufacturing and packaging process, and improve cleanliness. Beginning at the supplier and continuing all the way to the point of installation by the cable operator, the cushions provide:
  • Protection
  • Built-in rigidity
  • Flexibility
  • Shock protection

Reduced Storage and Transportation Costs

The two U-PAD™ cushions replaced the need for four individual wrap around corrugated parts. This eliminated thousands of pallet loads of packaging materials during the course of one year.
The reduction of incoming material and wooden pallets also minimized truck delivery trips and forklift use, translating into less Global Warming Potential (GWP).

Additional U-PAD™ Benefits

The U-PAD™ is accepted worldwide and plays a key role in Motorola's goal to provide cost-effective, customer and environment friendly packaging. For more information regarding Motorola's environmental position, click here.
Through the use of the U-PAD™:
  • Significant amounts of de-trashing have been reduced from the entire distribution system
  • Dust and fiber particles have significantly reduced in the factory work environment
  • Special jigs and fixtures have been eliminated from packaging lines resulting in work simplification
