Wait, I could just batch photoshop them and play with levels, hue, etc. Please, somebody find me a picture of what they're thinking of.
All right I can help you out.

Add a little bit of Red light to shine up from the bottom to cast an evil glow on everything. This gives it an evil dreaded look. And the rest I would use shades of orange and yellow to give it that hot hellish factory type of feel. (for reference check out star wars Episode II when anikin is in the robot making factory)

Also since its a factory you don't need to re-key everything. Since It repeats you can make the objects jump back to there starting place in a single frame but it will look like they are moving in a continuous motion. (this wont work with motion blur turned on though) Then you can just repeat the movements of everything by copying the keys.
