Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction plays an important role in guaranteeing safe operation and reducing maintenance cost in modern industry. In this paper, we present a novel deep learning method for RUL estimation based on time empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and temporal convolutional networks (TCN). The proposed framework can effectively reveal the non-stationary characteristics of bearing degradation signals and acquire time-series degradation signals which namely intrinsic mode functions through empirical mode decomposition. Furthermore, the feature information is used as the input to convolution layer and trained by TCN to predict remaining useful life. The proposed EMD-TCN model structure maintains a superior result compared to several state-of-the-art convolutional algorithms on public data sets. Experimental results show that the average score of EMD-TCN model is improved by 10-20% than traditional convolutional algorithms.
