This article analyses the interaction of the algorithmic workplace regime and the migration regime in manual work in platform logistics and manufacturing in Germany. Based on ethnographic case studies, the article reconstructs how companies integrate migrant workers by using systems of algorithmic work control. These simplify the labour process and direct workers without relying on a certain language. Algorithmic work control, however, does not realise its intended disciplining effects on its own but is dependent on external factors. A precarious residence status is such an external disciplining factor as it can create an implicit alliance of migrant workers with their employers in the hope for permanent residence. Nonetheless, the interaction of the two regimes also produced new forms of solidarity between the workers, which in some cases led to new forms of self-organisation. Thus, workplace regime and migration regime co-constitute each other.

本文分析了德国平台物流和制造中手工工作中算法工作场所制度和迁移制度的相互作用。基于人种学案例研究，本文重构了公司如何通过使用算法工作控制系统来整合农民工。这些简化了劳动过程并在不依赖某种语言的情况下直接指导工人。然而，算法工作控制本身并没有实现其预期的约束效果，而是依赖于外部因素。不稳定的居留身份是一个外部约束因素，因为它可以建立农民工与其雇主之间的隐性联盟，以期获得永久居留权。尽管如此，两个政权的互动也产生了工人之间的新形式的团结，在某些情况下，这导致了新的自组织形式。因此，工作场所制度和移民制度相互构成。
