Yokogawa PLC named as PRO-SAFE is used highly for safety purpose in industries.
I was confused then I googled, here what I find.
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) were originally invented for the U.S. automotive manufacturing industry to replace relay logic systems. The automotive industry adopted PLCs initially for software revisions, which replaced rewiring of control panels that were used during the changing of production models. Before PLC creation, the process to change and update facilities for its new models each year was very expensive and time-intensive since each relay had to be individually rewired. In1986, GM requested a proposal for a device that would electronically change this relay system. Winning this project bid, Dick Morely of Bedford Associates is known as the “father” of the PLC with their084 PLC as the first product of its kind. Bedford Associates founded the company Modicon to help promote and service its084 PLC, which was later sold to the German company now known as AEG. Schneider Electric in France is now the current owner of Modicon’s084 PLC.

It is fairly easy to get information on the relative size of automation companies. Jim Pinto wrote a post in2012 on the top50 automation companies which used data from controlglobal.com’s2011 list. This placed Siemens at the top spot worldwide with other major PLC manufacturer’s as follows:
1. Siemens2. ABB4. Schneider (Modicon)5. Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)7. Mitsubishi8. GE11. Omron33. Bosch Rexroth35. Beckhoff37. Fuji47. Toshiba
