Merrow Group Companies
Data + AI + Business Logic → Better Commercial Outcomes
Gridstone is built inside Merrow’s 300k sq ft TIGIR campus and Superior’s sewn-products distribution network. MerrowIQ is the platform that sits on top of that stack, turning those signals into search, guidance, and industrial base visibility.
Our mission is to create commercial value for the American industrial base by turning Merrow’s manufacturing, distribution, and documentation footprint into an instrumented, searchable knowledge system for producers, service providers, and their supply chains.
Millions of manual downloads and dealer calls create a constant signal: "Help me keep this line running." Combined with an aging mechanic workforce, this is a knowledge cliff threatening US production.
We capture exhaust data from Merrow’s operations. Over time, manuals, parts history, dealer traffic, and telemetry form a reference library that would take decades and hundreds of millions to replicate.
IF WE DON'T DEFINE THE MEASUREMENT STANDARD ON THIS STACK, SOMEONE ELSE'S TELEMETRY PLATFORM WILL.
Gridstone is the tip of the spear. This is the physics behind it.

Aggregated View
MerrowIQ is the intelligence layer for mechanics, factories, suppliers, and defense programs. It pulls manuals, parts data, and telemetry from instrumented facilities into one system so teams can service machines faster, understand the state of their lines, and run more work through the same equipment for less cost.
Find by machine style, brand + part type, part number, feed system group, or brand + model—the way mechanics and dealers actually think. Each result shows SB price, ETAs, genuine⇔generic swaps, relevant kits, and concise instruction snippets with page citations.
"Example: A dealer gets a call about a 25-year-old overlock that’s eating thread. They search by machine family and symptom; MerrowIQ produces a short list of likely causes, parts, and swaps, with the correct BOM page pre-positioned."
Built on SB/Universe and the equivalence graph, MerrowIQ uses price_version idempotency and kill-switches (K5/K6/K7) to protect against bad data and runaway behavior. Every recommendation is tied back to a real SKU and resolve_id—the AI never invents parts.
Guided troubleshooting and parts selection for dealer support teams, backed by SB/Universe.
Registered assets, correct manuals, and parts lists in one place for plant teams.
Aggregated, anonymized view of facilities, machines, and supply depth for defense programs.
Leveraging Merrow Manufacturing's experience (COVID surge, Berry compliance), Atlas provides the DoD with a structured view of the industrial base.
We don't ask you to rebuild your factory or warehouse. We layer intelligence on top of what you already have.
In other sectors (welding, HVAC, CNC), the playbook is the same: start with the incumbent that holds the corpus and dealer rails, then repeat what we’ve proven in sewn goods.
