A system for feeding a coating material from at least one movable modular unit to a coating device is provided, the at least one movable modular unit being provided for the storage and provision of roll-type or coil-type coating material units including edge strips for applying to a narrow side of panel-type workpieces. A feed section holds and transports the coating material. A cassette unit guides the coating material provided by the feed section. A coupling section couples the at least one movable modular unit to the feed section, the at least one movable modular unit holding coating material units.
