Abstract : Many RUL estimation single models still have problems of low prediction accuracy while dealing with some nonstationary multivariate time series data, such as vibration signal from bearings degradation process. This paper aims to enhancing the prediction accuracy of the bearings remaining useful life from real vibration signals using LSTM model, by inserting SSA as preprocessing technique step in the predictive process of bearing RUL. The results of the study with femto Pronostia bearing dataset show a significant accuracy outperformance, through reduction of root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) performance metrics in majority of test data; up to 24.5% reduction with bearing1_3. The most interesting value reached is 74,7 % reduction, case of bearing 2_7. However, the model suffer from generalization over a certain number of data; case of bearing1_5. Thus several ways to leverage the prognosis model must be considered.

Keywords : SSA, REBs Prognosis, LSTM, RUL Estimation, Time Series, Feature Enhancement.
