Abstract: The invention relates to a system with stationary and mobile functional devices. In one embodiment the system comprises a buffer store for the intermediate storage of load carriers having a plurality of parking places for the load carriers. The parking places are formed, for example, as chain conveyers and arranged beside one another in one or more rows. The parking places can be served by a distribution carriage moved along a row of conveyors. The distribution carriage has a transfer device, adapted to transfer a load carrier to a parking place or picked up from the latter. The stationary conveyors each have their own electric drive, it being possible for the electrical power for driving a conveyor to be fed in under individual control by the distribution carriage in each case, when the latter has reached a transfer position to the respective stationary conveyor.
