Siemens
Siemens invested heavily in their Mindsphere IoT cloud platform.
It would appear Mindsphere can run on-premise or a hosted cloud environment. Siemens recently announced AWS support.
Siemens offers a line of hardware devices, called MindConnect, that can act as gateways to feed data into Mindsphere.

ABB
The ABB IoT platform is called ABB Ability.
ABB Ability does appear to have the concept of a digital twin, which they call Aspect Objects.
Emerson
Emerson announced an IoT offering called PlanetWeb digital ecosystem.
Schneider Electric
The Schneider Electric IoT platform is called EcoStruxure Platform. There are industry-specific versions of EcoStruxure for Building, Plant & Machine, Grid, IT and Power.
Rockwell Automation
Rockwell Software, a subsidary of Rockwell, has a product line FactoryTalk.
GE
GE Predix. GE Digital has spent billions to implement and market Predix and have embraced becoming a software vendor.
Some of the key features of the Predix platform include: Edge-to-Cloud connectivity, analytics and machine learning, digital twin, data management and application development tools.
Honeywell
Honeywell has a suite of IIoT solutions under the Connected Plant banner. Honeywell does seem to be working on an integrated IoT platform, called Honeywell Sentience.

Monitoring Coolants Using Intelligent Technology
An IoT-based solution combines a plug-and-play solution and a cloud-based platform with intelligent, automated, and reliable measurement capability – making data collection easy.
MAR 31, 2021
LIQUIDTOOL SYSTEMS introduced an IoT-based solution for monitoring coolants, the first to combine a plug-and-play solution and a cloud-based platform with intelligent, automated, and reliable measurement capability.
Automated Approach to Cutting Fluid Maintenance - Castrol SmartControl.
22 March 2021.
Given their additional axes and greater complexity, five-axis machining centers and multitasking lathes require a higher level of care from the maintenance department. The SmartControl has been out for “about a year now,” Two versions exist. Both continuously monitor cutting fluids, checking values such as concentration, pH, conductivity, temperature, and flow rate, and notifying the user if one of these needs attention. The more advanced version can adjust some of these values automatically—if it reads low on concentration, the SmartControl will add concentrate, just as it will adjust the pH on its own by adding buffer as needed.
