Calibration tells you an instrument was accurate on the day it was checked. Continuous monitoring tells you what happened at 2am on a Sunday when the compressor failed and nobody was on site. FWC Calibration supplies, installs and supports wireless temperature monitoring for fridges, freezers, cool rooms and cold-chain storage across Sydney, NSW and the ACT — and because measurement is our day job, the sensors doing the watching are calibrated by the same team.

What a monitoring system covers
- Logging
- 24/7
- Alerts
- SMS + email
- Coverage
- NSW · ACT
- History
- Exportable
- A wireless sensor on every unit — fridges, freezers, cool rooms, display cabinets, incubators and transport containers. No cabling and no manual temperature rounds.
- An on-site gateway that collects readings and forwards them to a secure dashboard, so the data leaves the building even if the unit does not.
- Alerts that reach a person — SMS and email the moment a unit drifts outside its set range, with escalation if nobody acknowledges.
- A complete logged history, exportable for whatever window an auditor asks for, rather than a clipboard with gaps in it.
- Supply, installation and commissioning by our own field team, with the sensors calibrated and documented before handover.
What an alert looks like
The same unit, twenty minutes apart. The card on the right is what your phone buzzes about — and the reason a failure at 2am costs you a callout instead of a skip bin full of stock.

Where monitoring fits alongside calibration
The two are complementary, and most sites need both. Monitoring is continuous and tells you what the temperature is. Calibration is periodic and tells you whether the instrument reporting it can be believed.
A monitoring system built on uncalibrated sensors produces a confident-looking record of nothing.
If you need periodic instrument work rather than continuous monitoring, those services live under calibration services — in particular temperature and humidity calibration, data logger validation and temperature mapping.

How installation works
-
Site assessment
We walk the site, count the units that need covering, check gateway placement and signal, and confirm the alarm ranges each unit should hold.
-
Supply and install
Sensors fitted to each unit and the gateway commissioned, typically in a single visit for a single-site business.
-
Calibrate and document
Sensors verified against traceable reference standards, with certificates issued so the system starts with a defensible baseline.
-
Handover and support
Dashboard access, alert routing set to the right people, and a scheduled recalibration interval so the system stays trustworthy.
Traceability and accreditation
FWC Calibration is not a NATA-accredited laboratory. Our reference standards are calibrated by NATA-accredited laboratories, which is what makes the measurements traceable to national standards, and we operate an ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Sensor calibrations are documented to ISO/IEC 17025 principles. If your procurement specifically requires an accredited laboratory, tell us before booking and we will confirm scope.
