RDM can replace manpower at location by experts on a central location, in order to save manpower or prevent hazardous situations (space for instance). Increasing globalisation and more and more complicated machinery and software, also creates the wish to remote engineering, so travel over growing distances of experienced and expensive engineering personnel is limited.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Real-time_computing/p9HxgL4L">Real-time computing</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Bidgoli, Hussein (2010).
