High-tech facilities
Pallet arrival and departure are 100% automated. The automated systems, and especially the fully-autonomous automatic guided vehicles or AGVs are connected to Pélican, the computerized cargo management system. Processing inside the terminal is horizontal and ergonomic offering guaranteed unbroken access to cargo even in the event of a problem.

Reorganization of processes
To optimize handling times, the terminal is now process-driven for Departures and Arrivals in matrix organization using QSE (Quality, Security, Environment), Industrial & Infrastructure Maintenance, and Human Resources ways and means throughout the handling process.

Quality to the fore
The process-based reorganization seeks to streamline handling, enhance reservations fulfilment, shipment availability performance, punctuality and customer waiting time. G1XL also offers maximum security thanks to 24-hour video-surveillance, x-ray screening, control access by post inspection screening and compulsory passes for all personnel and visitors. A project of privatization of the Freight zone of CDG is under development (access and parking in contact with the station) for a startup in autumn 2006.

Shipment traceability 
Every day shipment traceability is being improved following deployment of the Magellan system to maximize the reliability of addressing during the handling process. Customers can locate their shipment at all times either via Traxon or by logging on to the afklcargo.com website.
