remote workstation
Explanation:
The equivalent of "Arbeitsplatz" in this case is definitely "workstation", since we're obviously talking computer hookups. And it's remote, rather than local.

Grading comment
I think this is the appropriate translation in this case since the text deals with control systems for flexible manufacturing systems which have remote workstations in various locations, e.g. the foreman's office.

teledesk


Explanation:
is now very common as a specific term for computer workplaces installed off premises, together with - appropriately - teleworker. I would suggest using remote desk for Fern-Arbeitsplatz and teledesk for Tele-Arbeitsplatz.
