One way is this:

Many factory machines require that the margin of error be within a certain range.

Suppose that one factory, which cuts wood into planks 10 centimeters long, has a margin of error of 2 millimeters. This would mean that the planks could be, at a minimum, 9.9 centimeters, and, at a maximum, 10.1 centimeters.

Absolute value would be used to determine whether the machines can cut the planks within the factory's limit. This, overall, could save you time- instead of having to measure each plank- and money- obviously people would not be happy if their planks were not aligning correctly!
