factory [production facility] network
Explanation:
If this still refers to computer systems/networks mainly used in the precast industry, then the "Halle" would usually be a "Produktionshalle" (production facility or factory). The associated computer network may include several workstations/computers in order to cover all aspects/steps of the production process.

"Industrial network" would be too general IMHO. In my opinion, this term would refer to a network designed for the entire industry, or for industrial purposes in general, rather than for a specific production facility.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's not necessarily a precast facility, any "client facility". By the way, my client described the job as easy, I guess to him. I don't usually do IT!!

Asker: How about "industrial" network?

agree  Marcelo Silveyra: Also "plant," depending on the actual facility, but yes, this seems like the most logical option to me.

  -> Yes, fair enough.

agree  Ken Cox: ditto Marcello's comment -- also could be 'site network' if the site is fairly extensive
43 mins
  -> True, this might be a possibility, too.

agree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): yeah, "plant" or "site" could fit the bill.
