'Industriell' (industrially) can also be used as an adverb to describe how something is done—namely by machine and in large quantities. It then stands directly with the verb.

Common combinations are 'industrielle Fertigung' (industrial manufacturing), 'industrielle Produktion' (industrial production), or 'industrieller Maßstab' (industrial scale). These emphasize the production of goods with machines in factories.

commercial / vocational
'industriell' and 'gewerblich' can both have to do with work, production, and businesses. 'industriell' is used mainly when something comes from industry or is produced by machines in large quantities. 'gewerblich' is broader and means that something belongs to a business, trade, or company and is usually intended to make money. Learners may confuse the words because industry can also be a type of business. But not every commercial offer is industrial: a small craft business can operate commercially without producing industrially.
