- | Product types are manufacturer specific subtypes of general concepts. Therefore they are also called manufacturers models. Large facilities and specialized equipment is typically a once-of design. This means that a model is made of an imaginary individual thing and that imaginary product is realized by making a materialized real object that corresponds with the design. When series of products of the same kind are fabricated, then the design is usually generalized and given a product type identifier, typically as a product type code. The product type (the identifier) and its distinguishing characteristics are typically included in a product catalogue of the manufacturer or supplier.\\ | + | Product types are manufacturer specific subtypes of general concepts.

- | Nowadays product catalogues are usually made searchable via the websites of the suppliers. However, it is currently not possible to express one universal query that searches for product types in systems of multiple suppliers and that reports the combined results in one report. Neither is it possible to integrate a selected resulting models directly in someones own models, such as in designs. This is caused by the fact that every manufacturer and supplier uses its own data structure, terminology and corresponding software for storage, searching and reporting.\\ | + | Nowadays product catalogues are usually made searchable via the websites of the suppliers.

- | **Universal search**, combined reporting and direct integration of product type models in users models, becomes possible by modeling product types in a Gellish formal language. This is demonstrated by the Gellish Communicator software.\\ | + | **Universal search**, combined reporting and direct integration of product type models in users models, becomes possible by modeling product types in one of the Gellish formal languages.
