IRFP has developed a converter for the import of Fplo information for under-year construction measures, which enables FBS users to deal with these frequently used operational information more efficiently and with less manual effort.

In addition to a quick overview of the Fplo contents transmitted by DB Netz, the FBS-Fplo converter avoids a fault-prone, manual data transfer and provides a useful supplement to the FBS-TPN interface as long as this data is not contained standardized in the order process of the DB network  path portal. The following functions are available:
